This is sort of an expansion on our previous post.. http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=54634

Backstory:
Our little gecko neely hasn't eaten anything or pooped in a little over a month. We noticed that he had huge inflamed bulges and wondered if this could be a cause. We posted on here and everyone said to bring him to a vet. We did and she said his bulges were fine but he had fatty liver disease and to force feed him and give him warm soaks.

Two weeks later:
We have been force feeding and soaking this little guy. And today my boyfriend was feeding him he just rubbed our little man's stomach to relax him or maybe help the blockage. He noticed a little bit of clear liquid was coming out from his bulges. He decided to keep going and then they sort of exploded with a mess of this stuff. It was sooo much and we don't know if it was pus or backed up poop. It DEFINATELY smells like gecko poop if you've ever been pooped on you know the smell. Any help would be appreciated because clearly our vet didn't know what she was talking about.

looks like poop to me. I have heard the A/D can cause diarrhea and if it smells like poop then it probably is. I would think that if it was from the swelling it would be a brighter green or yellow, but I am no vet.

In the other pics it does looking like he just has very pronounced bulges from his genitalia, but it does look like it is bothering him in the pics from the other thread.

What substrate do you current;y have him on and what are his temps like?

Will he not eat at all on his own and what have you tried to feed him?

We have had him for 5 months and he has always been on paper towel. Cool side we keep around 80 and warm side 95. He will not eat on his own and before dec he was eating like a champ never had any problems. He hasnt pooped since then either so i hope it was just backed up poop thay finally came out and hopefully he will start to eat again.
