Mouth swelling? URGENT

[LeopardGeckoFan]

Topaz is having her worse health issue yet. Her mouth swelled up, 1 bug bulb on each side of her mouth, and she doesn't want to eat. Also, when she shed, she missed her eye and there is shed right in her eye, and i can't remove it. Any help? I am very worried, as her tail is thinning rapidly because of the mouth swelling. Are there meds online that will cause it to go down? Her swelling makes her have a snake mouth, kind of. I just really need a quick reply to fix her. And my vet won't reply to my emails, so I'm turning to you guys. I just want her to be the well, active, fat gecko she needs to be.

Take her to the vets!

agreed she needs to be seen by a vet, they will hopefully give her something to bring the swelling down so she can eat again.

Yes, you need to get her to a vet! Many things can cause swellings, and if she can't eat, she needs to see the vet as soon as possible. She's hurting and counting on you to help her.

Yeah +1
Do it quickly it must be very painful.

I will try. My parents don't like to go to the vet, they think it's a waste of money. I think she has mouth rot, and I am contacting the vets tomorrow. Her tail is despetatly thin. Thanks for the help, guys. If I can't get a direct visit for awhile, my dad said I could get a resubscription for ReptiBoost, because Blaza needed it once. I will continue to see what's wrong, but the ReptiBoost should help quite a bit. I just hope she can hang in a little longer...

repti boost is a mix of things to try and get the appetite back, it keeps the god bacteria alive in the gut as well as giving vitamins and electrolytes for hydration. its no substitute for real food.
have you tried a slurry?

Another reason why parents shouldnt let kids get animals unless theyre willing to pitch in for vet care.
Makes me very very sad. Pets arent projects.
