She is still alive and she has been drinking water on her own. This makes me very hopeful! When I realized what her injury was and that she was bleeding I did initially apply corn startch to her but when we got to the vet it was apperant to him that it wasn't enough to staunch her bleeding by itslef. He used Elmer's glue to patch her up. He said that would be non toxic and should wear off of her eventually and not cause problems with her next molt. I am still keeping a close eye on her but since she is drinking, I am optimistic that she will pull through. The vet wanted us to try to feed her with tweezers in 5-7 days to aid her recovery. Her fangs do normally turn back to black and she does normally resume eating one week after a molt. I am very greatful to everyone who has provided advice about her.</p></blockquote><p></p>
