Hi guys,
I’ve never used this site before but I’m praying someone might be able to help. I have an 11 year old Chilean Rose Hair - about 72 hours ago I came to check on her and she had molted. She was out of the molt - but there is a piece on her face and abdomen that appears to be stuck. I’ve had her since she was a baby and I will be devastated if she passes or is in pain right now
What really worries me is I found her legs down, squished to the side of the cage and it appeared her legs had gone into the death curl. I thought she was dead.
I still waited 12 hours because I know sometimes molts can be strange
After 12 hours I moved the cage, as she looked incredibly squished, and there was a white liquid I had never seen before seeping through her bedding coming from her legs.
I was so upset and then was surprised to see her move. But she is absolutely not okay. I think something is very wrong here and I’ve waited to see if it would fix itself but it doesn’t appear that way. I took all of the fixtures out of her way, just in case and placed an extra water dish in to ensure maximum moisture but I’m really worried I need to do something
I’ve seen her molt many times before as I got her as a baby and nothing like this has ever happened and I’m incredibly worried and upset. I called the closest exotic pet to me and it is over an hour away and I’m convinced she might be in worse shape from a drive.
What do I do?? Please help she seems to be struggling so hard, and isn’t moving at all. But I don’t know if I should intervene
thank you very much for any responses I greatly appreciate it. She looks so bad I’m so very upset I attached a picture
