Hi all,
New posting here, would love your thoughts. I found an injured spider in our sink last night, and can’t decide if she can be helped or wants to pass on, or some third option. Her right side legs all work fine, but her left four leg stick STRAIGHT up. The hydraulics in them must be broken somehow.
It breaks my heart. I tried gently flexing her legs back into place with a small paintbrush, but they just go back up again. She can’t walk, so I assume (?) can’t spin, and can’t eat?
What would you do? She’s just a sad pretty lady. I don’t want her to suffer, but hate the idea of killing her. Currently she’s resting in my aloe plant. She was on a damp napkin but dragged herself off it last night.
Thank you,
Laura
