Well Penelope has been on a "liquid diet" since Friday night. She was diagnosed with parasites and the vet said that her belly was filled with fluid. . She was taking the food pretty well till tonight she threw it up about 10 minutes after I gave it to her. I'm so afraid I'm might lose her. . I'm really doubting that I am capable of raising such a young gecko. I'm trying everything. She has another vet appointment Thursday. I don't know how much longer I can keep shoving this liquid stuff into her I feel like I'm hurting because it takes some time to get her to open her mouth. I don't if I'm doing it to hard and it hurts her. I just don't know. All I know is that even though I've only her for two weeks she has really become very special to me. I don't know. This is her. She still runs around and has gotten a little used to me.

She's a cutie. Don't worry yourself too much. It sounds like you're doing all you can. I would make sure she's comfortable, get her temps spot on and make sure she's in a dark enclosure. If she can't see, it's less stressful. Don't startle her and make slow deliberate gentle movements around her when you have to handle her.
She'll turn out ok. :) Keeping her in my thoughts!
