This is me with my Australian Phlogius sp. goliath , she was in very poor shape (unable to feed and close to death) when she was given to me due to her chelicerae and pedipalps being affected by nematode infection . I managed to load up a syringe with a salin solution and forced this into her esophagus , being careful not to inject her with too much , at which point a large mass of nematodes were expelled from her mouth parts . I cleaned her up and within the hour she was feasting on a pinkie mouse and several crickets , this took place a year ago and she has since been through a successful moult and is now currently gravid .![Very Happy](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

the pic was taken just after treatment and prior to feeding , you can see her outstretched pedipalps which she regained control over almost immediately after treatment.
