Nematodes, DKS, both?

[The Snark]

What you want to know is has any neurotoxin, from spray, feeder or transient exposure, been introduced to her.
I'm simplifying and working the odds of probability. DKS is a huge catch phrase but chances are a neurological disorder. Neurological disorders can develop in dozens of different ways but the most common is pesticides and neurotoxin pesticides are most commonly the fire and forget long lasting environmentally stable versions such as ant and roach baits and similar. Some can remain in the environment for months and with some of them just stepping on a poisoned ant trail then walking into the house can be enough of a dose to set off a neurological condition but not enough to outright kill.

I put her in the freezer. I thought she was getting a little more responsive for a bit, but in the last couple days she’s gone to almost no response. I don’t think there was much that could be done. Thanks all.

yea, if it was indeed nematodes (and it did sound like a high possibility that was the case) there is no telling what damage they have wrought on the internal organs of the spider by the time they emerge from the mouth ...

Sorry to hear that, especially after all the work you'd put in to try to save her. It's too bad...

Poor thing it’s sad .. when they have unknown health problems like dks and or nematodes or any other illnesses . They just wither away ..
