My cat knocked over two of my larger kritter keepers about 1/2 hour ago. My very favorite tarantula, my B. Emilia, was injured. If she doesn't make it, I don't know what I'm going to do. She is not leaking hemolymph from her abdomen, but she is leaking from two of her legs. I don't have a digital camera & I'm not sure if the amount she's leaked so far is considered a lot or not. It seems like a lot to me but that might be b/c I'm freaked out. I never really thought I would have to deal with this. I tried dabbing her with toilet tissue and I got out the cornstarch but after consulting the Tarantula Keeper's Guide, it sounded like the best thing to do was leave her alone. She is moving when prodded and I tried putting her near her water dish and she didn't want any. Has anyone had their tarantulas lose fluid and make it through??? I did a search and saw that someone else's T lost two legs and didn't even appear to be leaking and died anyway. I am so worried. Does anyone have any suggestions?
