Hi everyone! My name is Dawna, and I am somewhat new to this forum, but have really gained a lot of experience from reading the posts here. I was hoping that someone might have some insight into what may be wrong with my leopard gecko. I got him at a super show in San Diego and he was perfectly fine for the first two weeks (eating, pooping, wide-eyed). He just stopped eating recently (it's been about 2 weeks), but had one splurge of about 6 small crickets. I took him to the vet and he said that there is nothing wrong with him (IMO the vet didn't seem to know too much about leopard geckos). My leopard is a male, he is about 6-8 months old, has been offered crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and cockroaches, has been living in a 15 gallon terrarium on carpet, has UTH, has 2 hides (one with a moist paper towel in it)...and that's about all I can think of to mention. His current symptoms are droopy eyes, lethargy, thinning tail, very squishy stomach, loss of appetite, and just today, I held him and he stayed on his back with no effort to try to get up. If anyone has any insight, I would be very much appreciative! Thanks! Oh, and his name is Kirby btw:)
