Hello,

I've recently taken in a leopard gecko from someone who wasnt looking after it.

It eyes are my main concern! I went to a local reptile shop and was sold some eyes drops but also ointment none of which seems to be working.

Pictures below.

Also as he cant see he cannot find food or water so i have to do this all by hand but he will only eat fruit paste nothing more, hes starting to put weight on slowly.

Basically how do i help him?

Locally i dont really have a reptile vets so its a little tricky for me to do that before you suggest guys :( :(

HELP!

Ive just put him back in viv and he ran about mental and now his eye looks to be coming out of its socket:(

Those look like eye caps that more than likely have an infection underneath. I had a male with a similar issue a couple years ago and it took 3-4 months of injectable antibiotics and medicated eyedrops before he recovered. Unfortunately I don't think there's much you can do other than nightly saunas to help. In order for him to get better I think you'll need to visit a reptile vet to get the meds he'll need to clear that up.
