snail is like.. leaking water? urgent I think!!

Hi I feel bad for posting here so soon after last time, but I’m a first time snail owner and always really paranoid about my little garden snail. I gave her a bit of Exo-Terra calcium+D3 powder, and it’s a few hours later. Now she’s on the side of her tank, just hanging out. Not resting in her shell. But she’s secreting a lot of what looks like water? Moving her head around, the lid is open but she’s not trying to climb out.. which from what I’ve seen so far is out of character for her. Her mouth region looks a bit puckered? If that makes sense? and several droplets of clear liquid have come out of her. she also had like.. a lot of cucumber earlier so I’m hoping she’s just getting rid of excess liquid or something and I’m overreacting. sorry if this is a dumb question but I really couldn’t find anything about this online and I’m worried D:

It sounds like she's probably just expelling excess water from the cucumber, as you say. Is she showing any other unusual behaviour? If she's acting normally then I wouldn't be too worried.

Did you check the ingredients list? In order to make sure there are not salts in it... Wrinkles on the mouth area and water loss like you said may (underline may) be a symptom of some contact with salt that caused her a bit of drying out... Try to also place a pool near her, so you can see if she wants some more water or moisture! Not wet her directly, just place it nearby
