I have a feeling her fangs are stuck. So I bought some extra cork bark and placed it in her enclosure after removing the lid. It had slightly rough edges for her to chew on if this was the case. She ignored it and she tightly curls around her prekill but doesn't touch it. I have absolutely no idea what's going on here.

By the way, for some reason I tried to upload the vid from my phone and told me I couldn't.

Yeah I know now. I already spoke to a vet about it after a good friend confirmed my suspicions. I was hoping bad fangs but not only did one friend shoot that down but another suggested what I was thinking in the back of my mind. 00:30 called the emergency clinic and sure enough evaluation of video evidence and my journal notes, it suggests one of three things. All leading to DKS. Now my choice is after spending nearly 1000 sek on an emergency consultation is either keep her and let her pass on normally or let them euthanize her and do an autopsy at a very pricey tag.

I have placed a towel over her enclosure to keep her calm.

I personally wouldnt waste money on a vet that is only going to take your money.
I also wouldn't give up on your spider either. In many cases it will go away or they can molt out of it.
I purchased a spider from a pet store with it(discounted ofcourse) and he ended up molting into a mature male.

Dyskinesia in tarantulas

I've kinda toyed with the idea of making this thread for a while as I've gotten sick of typing the same things out every time someone has a tarantula that shows the slightest hint of jerky movements so I thought I'd try to consolidate everything into a single thread that I/others can just...
