the jerking motion I've seen with both toxin and bacteria infection. Hope I'm wrong in both cases. Seems like there are losses popping up all over the place this last week.

I dont know about the twitching or anything, but it's never a good idea to 'gently blow' on your T (especially with a cobalt!-your lucky that thing didn't go totally PSYCHO on you!) The air hits them, and they feel the vibrations and freak out. I recomend (even if they are, or could be sick) that you don't do it again. ;)

That's just the problem . she didn't go psycho, she was fine 2 days ago and was total psycho like cobalts usually are .. I gently blown on her just to see her reactions . don't worry i know what i'm doing ;)

I am sorry to say this but she is more then likely going to die. What the exact cause is I am not sure, but any time I have seen that happen the T dies.

There's a few reports of this on the board...
Basically what everyone else is suggesting.

Just do your best.

And stop blowing on her. It's causing un-needed stress.

mark im sorry to hear that. hopefully she'll make it. the thing that sucks is when you know you set them up right, feed them well and something just happens and there gone like that, unfortunet.
