Sick little babies

[katie_]

I received 3 leos from a supplier at work and I have some questions on what to do.
I will never use this supplier again.

The babies he sent me are VERY underweight, and have absolutley no fat storage on their tails at all.

All three have accepted food yesterday, and all three have vomited that meal. They wont accept food today.

They look impacted, but he swears there was no way that could have happened. Hes stopped answering my phone calls and emails.
Ive given them a warm bath and raised the temp in their tanks.

Looks like a vet visit may be in store, but I know the outcome is grim. Working at a vet clinic before, I know theres very little they can do.

Any suggestions?

sorry to hear the bad news.
are the UTH at correct temps for digestion?
other wise sounds like you need to be reporting the seller

Make sure that you use good hygiene and quarantine and that you clean the enclosures they're in properly since it's always possible they have cryptosporidiosis (I'm not saying they do, but better safe than sorry). The best method, from what I've read, is to clean everything not wood or plastic with an ammonia solution and to throw out everything else.

As Sausage asked, what are the tank temps? There is a chance that the regurgitation could be due to parasitic infection but that cannot be determined without a trip to the vets. Have any of the geckos passed any urates or fecal matter since getting them? Can you feel any hard matter around the gut? Can you get hold of some Critical Care Formula, or a similar formula that has electrolytes ie. Pedialyte, Nutrilyte Powder+, Exo-Terra Electrolyte and D3 powder? If you can't, get hold of some Dioralyte and I'll help you with the measures, alternatively the measures are all over the net.

They seem to be getting better. Since I posted this, they both had a very nice bm, and ate a small meal with no vomiting. The last two days they ate a normal amount, and are still doing fine. More active and such.
I took them home so I can keep a close eye on them, and I'll bring them back when theyre fat.

Thank you for your help!
