    I'd take her to the vet as soon as possible.

    In the meantime, spritzing doth not humidity make. Use a fogger, a nebulizer or a humidifier to create a humidity chamber and fog her for 45 minutes twice a day until you can see the vet. Use distilled water.

    If there is a way to nebulize/fog her in her enclosure - so much the better. Eliminating the stress associated with moving her would be ideal.

    The out put ports on nebulizers, humidifiers and foggers can be modified if necessary to accommodate a hose so that you can fog in a hide or in a tub. Sealing air holes helps hold the humidity in.

    Otherwise, efforts to raise humidity by spraying or misting are fairly futile and can lead to other issues.
