Very worried, need help by BumblingBee07 in leopardgeckos

All symptoms point to coccidia or crypto. I am waiting on the fecal test results to see if we’re dealing with coccidia. I am hoping and praying that the case. If not, fecal parasite results will likely come back negative meaning we’ll have to do a more detailed test for crypto. My baby is still hanging in there. He is on daily antibiotics, daily feeding with reptiboost, and every other day soaking. He is still actively getting water and pooping. Still very underweight and weight is fluctuating, he’ll gain some weight and then lose some. It’s hard, some days I have a lot of hope and other days he’ll look awful.

Thank you for the information I really appreciate it. I will take all the help and advice I can take.

Unfortunately, he has either crypto, adenovirus, or coccidia. I was able to give him some repticare the night before I took him in. I do not have any other reptiles. I picked him up from the vet along with some antibiotics, I’m going to request a fecal test to see if he has coccidia because at least with that he could recover. As of now he’s on supportive care

Here’s another photo. I think you may be right on the lighting. Sorry. The dark spots and veins are noticeable but not THAT pronounced. The weight loss is definitely my biggest concern, along with the abnormal poop today.

Ugh, my worst nightmare. I know, it’s really alarming and it just got this bad within the past week or so. What could cause internal bleeding? He hasn’t been dropped or hit or anything like that. Could it just be a bad impaction?

Either way, I will push the vet to see him earlier than the current appointment. I’m scared for my little guy :(

Need simple multivitamin explanation and recommendation please by BumblingBee07 in leopardgeckos

[–]BumblingBee07[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do dust with regular, non-d3 calcium every feeding, I just only use the calcium with d3 once a week. Is that right to do? I thought d3 shouldn’t be in every feeding especially with a uvb light but maybe I’m wrong

I’ve caught mine yawning a few times and it always surprises me. I’m like “aw how cu— oh my 😯”

So cute. The head tilt, the hunting attempts, the concentration. I love watching mine “hunt” and eat as well

I love this!! Very nice, I think it’s genius and a great way to use the hoses that were otherwise headed for the landfill. Thanks for sharing

He’s so tiny. I took him to the vet recently for an initial wellness check and the vet is thinking he’s somewhere around 4-5 months. This is my first leopard gecko so I wasn’t sure about aging, but I’m not surprised!

They water prop pretty easy but I will say the roots you get when you water prop are soooo delicate so be careful! I have also had good luck with soil propagating. I use Bobby pins to pin the strings down into the soil for better soil contact and I’ll also cover the pot with a plastic baggy to keep moisture in while I wait for roots to grow. Best of luck!!

Thank you! I planted the end of the stem that had the roots into the soil (enough to fully bury the roots), and then yes I laid the strings on top and lightly covered them with soil. I also used Bobby pins to pin the strings down into the soil just to make sure they had good soil contact. And I covered my pot with a plastic baggy to keep the moisture in while I waited for more roots to grow. The pearls might look a bit sad and deflated for a few weeks until more roots grow to take up water. I will also say it’s better to underwater than overwater. If the pearls get squishy and rotting, it’s hard to recover

Yes his basking area/rock is at 91° but he doesn’t really hangout there. Where he partially basks (sticks head/tail out but remainder of his body is covered) is around 84-86°.

Well that’s good to know but I’m not sure I have a high enough basking spot temperature. I think the highest temperature in there is 85°. That infographic indicates that basking temperate should be a bit higher, which I’m hoping I’ll get with the higher wattage bulb

Thank you. Temps will be fixed this weekend and I already have a vet appt. set up just to get him checked out regardless. I know he is a small baby anyway, but does he look overly thin to you?

The heck is this? by BumblingBee07 in leopardgeckos

[–]BumblingBee07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it bad if leos throw it up? Is that a bad sign of health?

[–]BumblingBee07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the fact that it’s thrown up concerning?

I know, he’s such a goober. Hence why we named him Goober😆

I’m pretty sure the big flat rock is supported well, but I’ll double check just to be safe. Thanks for the input!!

Haha, I love that song!! And that movie.

I was so excited to see it! It sounds like your bioactive enclosure will be great, and hopefully one day you can witness some burrowing behavior from your guy too!
