Ryoo got worse...

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I used canned Hill's A/D in my slurry recipe for a reason... I cannot endorse any other formula.

I have all the ingredients for slurry except the Hills A/D pet food. I will try to get this tomorrow at local vet.
Other than that, Ryoo looks really dehydrated, so would it be okay to try and get her to drink some of the Pedialite?

I still haven't been able to get the Hill's A/D pet food. But today she is looking worse than ever. So I made the slurry with the ingredients I had and fed her that. She keeps her eyes closed most of the time and when she opens them, she only opens one eye and keeps the eye that used to have stuck shed closed.
I'm going to try and see if I can find Hill's A/D pet food tomorrow.


Other than that, she fights and tries to bite now when before she was okay with being handled.

If you can't get the prescription HILLS stuff, I would go to a pet store that carries Hills Science Diet and pick up a can of the adult formula, it's the closest to the A/D.

As an exotic specialty vet, I'm surprised that they said the gecko looked fine when it's clearly underweight. Is there anyway you can find a different exotics vet for a second opinion?

I hope the slurry helps. Don't use pedigree, though. Use the HILLS since Marcia knows that it works.

I know its not a big improvement but today her eyes were actually open. I think the "substitute" slurry I gave her helped a little.

Leopard.Geckers: I think I will see if I can get a second opinion. I know that there's another exotic vet near school. Other than that, I still haven't found the Hills A/D pet food so I think I'll get the Science Diet though.
