She doesn't understand that you have good intentions, and the stress might prevent her from making any kind of recovery. Bathing her is also not necessary, they shouldn't be misted. (I'm just repeating information I've read from people who have more experience than you or I, I've read countless threads on this site and another tarantula forum.) I guess the best thing you can do is just make sure she's comfortable, give her water with a syringe, keep her in the dark, and pray for the best. You have a good heart.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
