Ok, it started 4 days ago. I came home from work and my female crested gecko was screaching and throwing herself around her enclosure. I mean really twirling uncontrolably. Her mouth was filled with eco earth coco fiber. This went on periodically through the night and the next day. I flushed out her mouth and gave her a warm bath.
I brought her to the vet and the Dr. thought it was neurological. Possibly having a calcium crash. (I normally feed her CGD mixed with mango baby food daily. & 1 dusted Cricket every other day).
I was given some IV fluid to manually feed her over the next 5 days. The next day she was practically lifeless, with moss and her cgd stuck to her body.
She was not able to move much. Her legs and tail were shaking.
Has anyone ever seen of this before? Does it sound like a calcium crash?
Any advice?
So far I have forced some calcium into her, she is definitly looking better, but I'm not sure if its going to come back. She hasn't had a seizure since the night of the Dr. visit.
