Is my shrimp going to die?

[CrazyDuck959]

I made a post about a hour ago, saying my shrimp was acting weird and it may be stuck molt. Well I can now confirm its stuck molt. I know this is fatal for most inverts. And I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions, I dont want to lose this shrimp. And its turned into a emergency situation that if I dont act it will die.

I doubt there is much you can do... when these critters molt.. it involves the eyes and gut. Seems much more involved then say a snake.

So, no luck with the shrimp getting out of it’s stuck molt. I’m guessing there is no chance at the point, should I be thinking about euthanization that way the shrimp does not suffer?

Final update, the shrimp died. Nothing I could do. It had no chance sadly.
