Question
Gecko Lump
Okay, So I think my leopard gecko may be sick. I am not exactly sure how old, but I know it is an adult. I have had her 4 months. She has been extremelty healthy the whole time, nothing at all wrong with her, eating normally, etc. Until about 2 weeks ago, when she completely stopped eating. She has only eaten one worm within the two weeks, luckily she has a fat tail, and isnt loosing any weight, so I thought she was just going through a phase. Also, she shed during this time, and she did eat her skin. Also, during these two weeks, she had two small bowel movements. They were smaller than normal, but were completely normal, other than the size. But after she shed, she had a very small poo that was green with a very small drop of blood underneath is. I am worried about the colour, and the blood. Can u let me know about that? And another thing, Since the 2 weeks she hasnt eaten, she now has a very small lump on the outside of her mouth. It is the same colour as her skin, So I am wondering if it will just go away or not... I really dont know what is going on with her :S
She used to live on substrate, but now lives on paper towel. She has an Under Tank Heater, two hides, (one of them being a moist hide), a calcium dish, and water. She seemed perfectly healthy until this time.
My parents really wont take me to a vet at all, I have tried everything, and they say they dont want to drive 3 hours just to take a little leopard gecko to a very. I really dont understand, because I really care about my lizard, and am now really worried about her.
Oh ya, and she lives alone. Warm side is from 80-90, and cool side from 65-70. Yeah... and I give her vitamins along with the calcium.
PLEASE HELP! I am SOOO WORRIED! =(
Also, I have no reptile vets anywhere close to me, only about 3 hours away, so my parents WILL NOT take her that far away. I was just wondering if a regular vet might do a fecel sample? Or if they could get parasite or medicine if thats what she has...
Thanks so much! :)
AnswerOK, I can see the lump, and that makes me think she might have something going on there (injury, infection, cyst, etc...) I can't diagnose via internet... I would suggest you call the local vets and see if they can help. ANY vet can do a fecal float test to check for parasites AND they could call the reptile vet for help with the dosages to get rid of the parasites. But, I think the lump might be the root of the problem, in which case they will need to see the lizard. Mom and Dad allowed you to get this pet, the pet is now sick and needs medical attention, mom and dad need to help you get it... I can't! Responsible pet ownership means helping them when they need it (mom and dad). Good Luck.
