Hi I have 2 leopard geckos one I have had for 2 months and the other I have had for about a month. Well this last shed our gecko went through she became very white and the next day she had basically got all the shed off except for her feet. She was fine before this shed but after she was having a hard time walking so I had read that if they hadnt gotten all the shed off that you put them in warm water and soak it then help them to get it off carefully. We thought it would help her to walk and it still didnt work. She was still eating but walking very slow and it got worse and worse. She kept eating as long as they came in front of her. Well We decided to take her to the Vet and he said she had calcium deficiency and he gave her meds for worms to be on the safe side. I think he was hard with her but I dont know. He gave us some calcium drops for her to take 2x a day. After he handled her she wont barely move. She is sooo bad and we are afraid of losing her. He told us she is this way due to not having a UV light and we have read that they dont need a UV light so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. She went to him yesterday and today she wont even eat..she just lays there and if she does move its by dragging her body..... I can hold her but if I tilt my hand or whatever and she will roll over. My tanks hot side is about 90 degrees and cold side is about 80 we have a 30 gallon tank and we have 2 hiding rocks a plant to hide in a peice of wood to hide under and a fake plant they hide in and a bridge they can hide under..also I have a water bowl for them. She is taking a calcium drop 2x a day since yesturday and she had eaten b4 the vet like 2 crickets and she somewhat moved..it seems like after he had her its like she is paralized. she can move but its by dragging herself. We sprayed her food with calcium spray b4 she ate and we were gutloading the crickets...tday she will not eat anything..the vet says its stress and she is so young she might not make it.. when I bought her I was told we didnt need a UVB light and now I am told that is why she might die is cause I didnt have one..plz help me if you know what is wrong and how I can save her..THANKS
Please Help me If you can I have a sick Leo Geckoo
