Do you know for certain that it is female?

No, I don't. My son named her Rosey so we just always refer to her as "her". Does that make a difference in what is going on with her?

Yes, it does. Once a male matures they don't tend to live very long. I can't tell from your pics how big it is but if you can get a good pic of its belly, I'm sure someone on here would be able to sex it for you.

We were told at the pet store that she/he was 1-2 years old. I'll try to get a picture of the belly. I will never again buy a tarantula from a pet store so if you know of any breeders let me know. If she dies, I will definitely be getting another one.

Ok, here's a picture of the belly. Sorry, not sure if it's clear enough. Can you tell what it is?

The best advice is too leave her be a little while. She might surprise u. I recently watched a youtube video by trantualaguy. He had a T that he thought was dying or dead and he flipped her and everything and the next day she molted. she just happend to be molting right side up. Just keep some water in her bowl for humiditys sake and dont hold her or touch her and hope for the best. Not a whole lot u can do....good luck.

Well, I thought she was gone yesterday. Curled up and very stiff. She barely moved when touched. As a last ditch effort I put in ICU. Her stance looks a tiny bit better since this morning. She doesn't look like she's in the death curl position anymore. Still not responding to touch that much though. How long should I keep her in there?
