I've been spraying daily and even the drops landing on her doesn't seem to bother her.

Seems there isn't going to be anything i can do,she's barely breathing now and isn't moving at all,when i sprayed her lightly she didn't move but i can see her breathing very slightly...i think she'll be gone by the days end Had her for 14 months and this is so gutting.

Breathing?? you can't see a spider breathing... they don't breathe like us.
It's probably her heartbeat, which would indicate she's going i'm afraid

Yeah i know their hearts are kinda on their rumps but it looks like she's breathing,her rump is going up and down slowly and her hairs are moving....i'm not fully clued in to a T's anatomy,the T's are my other halfs i just help out and look after them when he can't...but i'll be sad to see this lil one go...i'm not overly keen on most of them but this one was always a real sweetie

Such a shame Maybe the bad moult took it out of her?

you could take her out and put her in a tub with some damp tissue and keep her extra warm. aka an ICU. Although it doesn't sound like dehydration, so it probably won't help.

Alternatively, her best bet is a tub in the freezer im afraid It'd be kinder for her, though not nice to do. I've had to do it twice and felt sick everytime!

OMG really? Wow i'd have to see if my other half would do it,like i said i'm not an overly keen T fan but i still don't think i could bring myself to do that,not sure if he could either,i shall go see him,i know she's fading fast so like you say its kindest for her...still not easy.Thanks guys for your input,just sad she seems to have gone downhill so quickly,last week she was buzzing about like crazy.

I removed her from her tub and there was no 'breathing' type motions coming from her at all and her legs had curled under....just to be on the safe side she has been put in the freezer.....damn it
