If so, you might try to drop water directly onto her mouth with a pipette to see if she drinks.  Your original post mentioned that she was over the water dish and it looked as though she was trying to drink her own venom so perhaps she is dehydrated?  I am also thinking it may be possible that she had internal injuries from a fall.  Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done by the way of first aid for a tarantula.  It sounds like you are doing all you can.  Good luck and keep us posted.</p></blockquote><p></p>
