I started a thread on there in the hunt for vets. A couple have been recommended. Here's the link.

I've spoken to a couple of good people on your thread that got caught up in the flaming and there have been a couple of offers of help made by them. Email, pm or messenger me for those details if you are interested. They will not pick holes or try and take your geckos but they are worth listening too. |

Looks like she had dumped her tail at some time before you got her. Check with SleepyD but she doesn't look well. Definately a visit to the vets. |

Look up SleepyD on there. She is like Leo Gecko god. She may well have some ideas but I think she will probably say the same things I'm saying. |

Get her to a rep vet as soon as possible. IMO that is a lot of weight loss for a youngster. If the vet frightens you with their price for a fecal, google "Pinmoore labs". They do complete one by post for thirty odd pounds but you will still need to book a consult with your rep vet to sort out treatment once you get the results.
Please buy some Nutribol asap. I can't emphasize enough on here how important it is that you start giving her that once/twice a week. If you want to add me on messenger my addy is on the bar above all of my posts. I'm more than happy to help if you've ever got any questions. |

I would get it too the rep vet for the weight loss and get a fecal done to check for parasites. Possible explanation for the weight loss. They can, however, go a couple of weeks or so without you seeing them eat whilst they settle in. How bad is the weight loss from the tail? Do you have a before and after pic that you can email me or post on here? Also, what substrate are you keeping her on?
You need to get some Nutribol online or from your local rep store and dust her food once or twice a week. She needs it because she must have the vitamin (the number of which has slipped my mind) which enables her to use the calcium in her diet to grow healthy strong bones. It's the vitamin that her body would produce in natural sunlight. Without it she will develop Metabolic bone disease.
Sorry for all the questions. |
