All,
It has been a long while since I posted, but this weekend when checking on my King Baboon, I noticed that she was lethargic having difficultly moving her back legs. She pulled herself out of her burrow and was up against the side of the tank. I attempted to check on her and she moved with difficulty out of the way and eventually back into her burrow. (no threat display, nothing)
Unfortunately, I have seen similar responses when tarantulas are near death.
I guess I am looking for any hope that this time it might be different, or any thoughts if there is something I can do to help her pull through. Is there something I can do to better diagnose and treat her? I am really at a loss.
I received her as a sling from another member here back in 2003 and have raised her all these years. She is very special to me and the thought of losing her is really distressing.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Ralph
