she was fine when you took her out of the bath?
ok then what?
how long from then until you got he rout and she was limp?
had she been moving up until then or was she in the same spot you put her back in?
is she maybe just cold?
did she over excert herself in the bath?

ok is she cold?
are her eyes open?
is she litterally not moving one bit? eyes? throating? colouration?
when you say you put her back to bed... what do you mean? just back in the viv? cos she'd need to bask and dry after a bath

right ok yes then she swallowed water wrong or soemthing.

i dont know whether this is the right thing to sugest or not....
open her mouth and tip her slightly and see if water pours out?

otherwise being under the bask is the right place for her but clearly she has gotten water where she does not want it.
