Need help with gecko issue

Tyguy35 · 03-13-15, 10:10 AM

Hello, today my girlfriend noticed her 13 year old fat tail was bleeding from the vent. The gecko was in shed and had some blocking his vent. I removed it and it uncovered this. I don't know much about geckos an am unsure if this is a prolapse or not. Any help?

Looks like an infection and possibly stuck urate from the shed blockage. Put him in a place with no substrate (no paper towels either) and put some neosporin on it. If it doesn't get better in a day or two, you'll need a vet. And by better I don't mean gone, just, better.

Also, if you can, feed wax worms for a few days. They cause stool to loosen so will make it easier to pass poo.

Ok I'll give it a go. He's been eating crickets ten years so it maybe a challenge.
