[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 160545, member: 29302"] I wouldn't try ICU. It can be harmful as it just leaves them stewing in overly humid conditions plus the added stress of taking them from their enclosure. To be honest, I keep swinging between thinking it could possibly be trying to moult, to not being convinced that it's moulting. Especially, as it's still alive. I've not heard of a t stuck moulting (with no sign of a moult I.e. popped carapace other than the t bring found on its back) for a week and still being alive. I'm probably going to be slated for saying this, but if it was mine, I'd flip it over the right way, with its mouthparts in a waterdish and leave it alone for 3 days. I think it could be injured and just be too weak to stand upright. In that time, it'll either get better or pass away. If no progress at all, you could then consider euthanasia if you feel able to do so. If so, post again in 3 days or pm me and I'll talk you through how to do it in the most humane way. But let's see if anything changes in the next few days first. I'm really crossing my fingers for her and you. Hate to hear of any animal unwell and I know you love her. [/QUOTE]
