My gecko has swollen feet on one side. I think it began as a shedding problem, i came back from a trip and her feet had some stuck shed on it.
I gave her several warm soaks and removed the shed, but it’s been several days and her feet are still swollen.
she also hasn’t eaten in a week and a half
I plan on seeing a vet soon but wanted to get thoughts.
