Wierd poo and filmy eyes are concerning. I think you should set up an appointment with a reptile vet ASAP. Try to bring a fresh stool sample with you when you go so the vet can check for parasites.

The problems could have started by keeping the enclosure too hot and dry. This would also possibly be why your leo is hanging out around his water bowl a lot. Usually enclosures don't need both UTH and heat lamp unless your house is extremely cold - like under 65 degrees. What temperatures are the hot and cool side of your enclosure? How are you measuring them?

Also reptivite does not contain calcium. Are you using a calcium supplement in addition? This could also contribute to making your guy less than healthy.

Took to vet, she prescribed some meds,

What are the temperatures on the warm and cool side? Also, how are you measuring them?

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

She didn't really say, she said its like pink eyes for geckos. The temps were like 94 on hot side and room temp on other

Wouldnt you have 4 temps to measure if your tank is divided?
