Sick banded cat shark

[jacobzking]

Here's a video of her behavior, also she's covered in sand, exhaling sand and her belly is bloated and sort of hard; she won't swim at all. Anything I can or should do immediately to relieve her of pain or improve her condition? Is it possible that she's just about to lay an egg (she's probably about 3.5 years old)?

Background: had her for about 18 months. Shes always been healthy and heavy eater. water params: 1.026, 0ammo/nitrite, 30ish on nitrates (just did a large water change to bring them down, but she's never seemed bothered by 80ppm), 75 degrees.

Is it possible that she needs to be burped?

Any change with her? Bumping this for you in the hopes that Alprazo will see it.

I posted in the Predator section and got a response from Alprazo. Fingers crossed. I've been nearly sleepless for 6 days worrying about her. When I lay down, I feel like I should be on forums or reading up on what to do. Cant sleep. Must. help. shark.
