So today my little Kami Veiled died in my hands today. IDK what happened yesterday she was fine and even today, until I saw her.
So first this I saw was her on the ground and saw that she had thrown up a hornworm she ate yesterday. She had her eyes closed, not swollen or sunk in, and just keeping her mouth open. I picked her up carefully and put her on some moist towels and made sure her mouth didn't dry out(saw this on the forum). So she started to look like she was trying to throw-up but was not, and she was pretty puffy, almost like full of air. she did this a couple of times and I knew she was about to die... so I picked her up and held her until she took her last breath with me in my hands. There was no time to get her to the vet she would have died in transit, rather in my hands at home then locked up on the way to the vet.
The thing that puzzles me is she looked like she was full of air, she would open her mouth trying to take a deep breath and then stop but almost not exhale the air out. Maybe the fall might have killed her I was thinking of something internally. Well I did buy her from CL and seemed like they wanted to get rid of her, I guess you get what you pay for... but besides the fact where I bought her I still loved her and spoiled her with everything, sad thing is I was working on a custom cage for her and she didn't get to see it.
PS I am just looking for input on her symptoms, has anyone ever heard of this? thought it was gular edema reading from another post with almost similar symptoms.
