New to me leo VERY! Skinny!

[supperl]

Actualy as no one realy wants to say it.. honestly that gecko has never got that skinny due to laying eggs. I would put my money on Cryptosporida even if no one wants to read that.
This animal looks more than just a good example for how a C+ gecko looks like.
If you want to try it until she dies(and I´m sure she will) you can order powdered egg and mix it so you can feed it to her lips. She might eat it and the powdered egg is pretty good for something like a female that lost a bit weight due to breeding.
I´m not a vet but I´m sorry to say that I believe this animal won´t take it.

Thank you guys for all of the info. Yes she does move around. Still not eating but took some pedialight. I clean out her tank every night. She has pooped twice. Once really runny once in her warm water soak. I consulted a nice vet that answered all my questions and gave me hints no charge! I will keep soaking and attempt feeding for a few more days then try panacure. How should I get it in her?

I do it just like how I offer liquid food - squeeze a drop on her lip, wait until she licks it. Its usually just one small drop for panacur (or other medicine). I would keep feeding the slurry food, put drops on her lips and let her lick it slowly, just don't feed to much in one go.

Did she stop taking the food you mixed up? Just pedialyte isn't enough. If she isn't taking any kind of food the panacur will be very harsh on her fragile system. Also, be certain to practice strict quarantine to avoid any possibility of cross contamination. It would be a good idea to read some forum threads about crypto, she could very well have it

She regurged the smash I gave her. I am trying again of course. I am keeping her Q but how does crypt spread?

She ate 2 super worms this morning. Slow progress.

That's great news. Hope she keeps eating for you

I would keep mellies in the cage 24/7 and force feed also and try to give it a golden gate gecko slurry thing.

Crypto is not completly all figured out yet it well be in the next few years because of people now a days are actuly giving a damn about there animals and also there is a organsation that you can donate a gecko to them and they well use it to help figure out crypto.
