My crawfish got out of his tank for the first time in the year i have had him, my tank is high up and on tile. I found him yesterday mornimg, not sure how long he was out. I put him back in his tank and all day yesterday he couldnt even walk he would be on his side or back. And flying around the tank with his talk curled and going backwards. I put him in a bucket of water for awhile after i read something on google about doing that when they get out. After i put him back in his tank he still went to his side and back. Today he seems to be staying on his legs but standing as tall as he can with out his tail on the ground. He also wont eat. He usually its everything i give him and usually is very relaxed laying around and in his barrel. Now he just moves around slowly and out in the open. Does any one may know what is wrong him?? Or how i can help him? I see nothing wrong with his shell or anything.
 
Sorry...I assume it got dried out (gills). Would just keep it clean water and wait it out. Hope it recovers. Maybe some crawfish keepers will chime in.
 
It's kinda 50/ 50 wether he will recover, this is likely from lack of moisture when he escaped the tank, make sure all holes and cracks are covered in the future.
Best of luck.!
