I’m an idiot. I got afraid and rushed into the procedure, thinking I knew exactly what to do. I did get some food in her mouth, then I squirted clean water over her face to clean off the clove oil and revive her. But then I put her back in the tank with her sisters. I hope I cleaned enough of the clove oil off, and it doesn’t affect them as well. I think she is now dying before my eyes though, her skin is very ashy gray when it’s normally black, and she is hanging upside down, breathing very slowly. I hope she isn’t dying, maybe the clove oil’s effect is still wearing off, but from the looks of it she’s going to die by my hands. She’s thrashing around on the ground now and it’s so sad to watch. Her sisters are watching her too.
