Hi guys if anyone knows whats going on or has advice to help before vet visit it would be great.

I have Layla like 6 years and shes always been great, no issues good eater only has issues shedding on the top of her nose just always a problem area for her but last week she had shed on her toes and hadnt eaten for me so i gave her a bath and kind of annoyed her a bit more than usual i guess but the next day i came home from work and lifted her hide to check her feet again because i didnt quite get it all but she was upside down. I looked into it and it says about neurological issues can be triggered by stress so i tried to give her some days of peace to see if she went back to normal but i think she definetly has something going on she wont use her front legs or move and keeps her eyes closed. She was fine when i gave her the bath climbing and pulling herself up with her front arms.
She is a big girl normally 80-100grams but shes a giant.
I dont know her exact background because i just got her of somebody bit she seems to be a pastel raptor x albino eclipse or something along those lines. 1 red eye 1 normal eye so her eyesight has always been pretty poor but it never held her back but her mouth has developed brown scabs and her tail is shrinking quickly, could be dehydration from whatever is wrong with her, ive been giving her some water and calcium in a syringe to keep her hydrated.

These pictures are just of when she was healthy 2 months ago or so for reference, she has a uvb light and heatmat for heat she has lots of gradients of heat to choose from, i give her Arcadia earth pro A, calcium magnesim, shed support at times and revitalise D3 and always regular calcium in the tank to take what she needs. Shes never had eggsor laid any. I feel like this is neuro problems maybe brought on by a respiratory infection or something but im really not sure.

She really needs to go to the vet.

Aliza
I got her into the vet yesterday and she got subcutaneous fluids and food and antibiotics i think, they wernt sure if she would make it but they called today and said she has made a small improvement overnight and is starting to move a little bit. Whatever it is caused some neurological issues but they havnt pinpointed anything yet, i told them to keep her in a few days as she can get fluids there through injection and i cant give her that. Hopefully she bounces back.

Layla is showing serious signs of illness, such as not using her front legs, mouth scabs, and tail shrinkage, and she needs immediate veterinary care for a full examination and treatment.

I got her into the vet and she was turning around over the week and was a good bit better not flipping anymore not lethargic, moving around and moving her head around and licking the food the vet was giving her but sadly they rang this morning and said she passed this morning. it was all very sudden 6 years with her and no issues. I did everything i could.
