2 sick Leos.

[Mike177]

Ok,
i have got 2 sick leos on my hands. and neither of them are mine. My Friend went out of town for the summer (L.A. Greece, Switzerland, France, Rome ex. ya i know i wish i could do that)
wile in my care one of his geckos died of a parasites. i did everything i could but she died anyway. now i beleve his other 2 geckos have got the same thing. even though the money that he gave me to care for them was stolen by on of his house keepers i found a way to get them to the vet. they where on Panacure 1 time a day and now they are on para-zap 1cc 2 times a day. they have each been quarantined in diffrent cages. one of the geckos has gotten knocked up again by my male Leo (i have no clue how they haven't been together in a wile but i guess love finds a way :p) so she just might be a bit skinny just because she had 2 other eggs not to long ago. i am going to the store tomato to make the Leo smoothie. but if anyone knows any other tips to passably speed up the recovery i would appreciate it. I had one gecko die on me and now there is NO WAY IF FU*KING HELL IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Mike i dont' know what else to do for you. I myself just lost my first leo 2 weeks ago, and now somehow another of my leos is sick again from roundworms. So if you find something that is helping PLEASE let me know.

Hey drewlove, My Rex had round worms and he was treated with panacur and now he is doing great!! Maybe you should try panacur or parazap.
Is he fat??
Give me news

I just recently started using para-zap and wowsie I am loving it!!! I treated every one of my leos with it once so far and all the ones who were being picky eaters are back in action, full force! It seems to have helped with some that weren't digesting properly too, so that's another added bonus. Hopefully you can keep administering the para-zap like the directions say to, and will see an improvement soon. In bad cases it will take a while, especially if they have worms. The medication will need time to kill the adult worms and then once the eggs hatch they need to be killed too. It can take a few weeks to rid the gecko completely of worms, plus the added few weeks or more for them to regain a healthy appetite and gain weight. So, be patient. So long as you have a treatment in place and can force feed, things should work out. It's good to hear that you have gone to the vet. If you have a chance you may want to get a fecal done again to see if the meds are working properly. Well, I hope they get better soon, and you've done all you can so far, so hang in there!
