Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rosa" data-source="post: 90210" data-attributes="member: 10066">I'm a first time tarantula owner of a Rose hair. I've had her around 2 years and I think she was around 6 months to a year when I got her.So I came home from work two days ago and noticed the lid was an inch open  and the interior all messed up. My cat was looking guilty on the bed. I think she stuck her arm in and took a swipe at my spider. She looks to have a cut on her back. It seemed to have a drop of liquid, but that has gone away and she doesn't seem to be bleeding. However for the last two days she seems to have a hard time walking and keeps curling her legs under her. She can't walk much without stopping and is just laying down most the time. However she did just walk over to the water dish and is sitting normal now. I am worried she is going to die.  What do I do? Help me?</blockquote>
