Gecko Keeps Rolling Over

[Discus Kid]

My gecko, Moose, keeps rolling over on his back. What is wrong? He had a bad shed and I helped him get it off, but now he has been doing this for about a day. What should I do?

Take him to a vet.

Get him to a herp vet ASAP before he stops rolling back.

So the earliest appointment I could get was Thursday, fortunately my vet knows my gecko and got him in. What should I do in the meantime? I have noticed a small green spot, maybe 1/4 of a centimeter. I assumed it to be impaction so I gave him 2 warm baths today, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. He isn't on loose substrate, I've always kept him on paper towels. I haven't noticed any stool in the last 16 hours, is this a long time? I've kept leopard and cresteds and have never had this problem.

Just curious, and should have asked before but, is he an enigma? IF he is, there's nothing you can do, and it won't hurt him. If he is not an enigma, there is a problem that needs to be treated. About all you can do is keep him comfortable until he sees the doc. Bump his warm side temp up to 95ish. It will help your vet if you can jot down some things- any changes, no matter how small, from before the time his behavior became questionable. I would discontinue the baths. He could drown in a matter of seconds. Good job on getting his appt so fast I know you're worried, but you're also doing all you can. Again, if he is an enigma, there isn't any treatment for their peculiar neurological condition.
