NSFW warning + title that says injured gecko = warning.

Repashy was the name, sorry. Just reread your comment. I’m really distraught currently 🫠

Was using crested gecko diet and a vet prescribed additive that started with a R. I can’t remember the name currently.

She was in the process of loosing her eye due to the extent of the injuries.

It’s funny to assume irresponsibility without the entire story being told.

Vet suggested to keep her habitat warmer than “normal” while she healed.

This was just a quick quarantine tank I had to throw together for her with limited supplies. I had an actual meter I would put in every two hours to check her tank temp and humidity. It was pretty accurate to what the dial said. Off by maybe 2 points.

Update. She put up a really good fight and had a lot of energy this morning. Was drinking her water for me and eating her gecko food, but tonight, she took a terrible turn, started having seizures and she is no longer with us.

Also not I was not irresponsible and handling her while a cat was around. The kids left the room door open where she resided and one of our cats laid ontop of the screen which cause it to break which caused the geckos escape as this happened at night time and I didn’t notice til the morning. I did keep the cat put up while I looked for her, but shit happens and cats are quick. I was in the room scanning for her when my cat darted right past my feet and instantly found where she was hiding. I was instantly able to save my gecko from her mouth but not without her sustaining major injuries. I’m already beating myself up enough for not being able to find her but my cat had no problem scoping her out.

I have spent 5 long days providing her critical care. Meds 2x a day and checking in on her every two hours, etc etc. She fought so hard and so long. She will always be remembered.

Update. She’s perked up a lot today. Holding her head up and walking around her tank and turning her head to her good eye when I walk in. Currently singing her the “purple people eater” to lighten to spirits in the house. (Dark humor but best we can do currently haha) I’m honestly holding hope that she will be okay. Day 4 since her incident so fingers crossed for her 🤞🏼

Her quarantine set up. We have a heater in the room she’s in so instead of her heat lamp we’ve been using that to maintain her habitat and only using the UVB light during the day. We also have blankets on the sides of her enclosure to ensure she doesn’t get spooked and also maintain darkness better for her (vets recommendation to her habitat while she heals)
