That is terrific news im so happy for you and her. You stuck it out and she
came back. I have to admit it didnt sound like she was going to make it.
Thank you so much for keeping us updated even if she wouldnt have
made it i hope you would have still let us know so we could have sent our
condolences. I cant wait to see pics of the little survivor and i hope she
continues to improve and make a full comeback. She wouldnt have made
it if it wernt for you. Congradulations you did a great job. :D

BTW was it the flagyl that helped her or do you know for sure? And is
she currently on any meds?

Here she is....this is actually right after she was rescued and she's shed a few times since then and looks much better.

So this picture was taken before she got sick? It looks like she might be gravid in this pictutre but it might just be the way she is positioned. It looks like she
has a couple of bruises on her neck and head. Gosh you have 44 geckos?
Where the heck do you keep all of them?

yeah it was before she started showing symptoms....we have a room dedicated to nothing but reptiles and mostly geckos...I need to change my signature though because we have gotten rid of quite a few of our baby leos.

I am thrilled to read of your geckos recovery and i hope that she continues to improve
May i ask what your vet based his diagnosis on?
fecal exam-blood work-visual observation and a physical exam?
I am just really curious as to how your vet came to that conclusion
My fingers are crossed for a full recovery for her
she is a sweetie

Nope...he just looked at her...she was exibiting what they call "stargazing" where they just kinda look up into space and don't move..he said he had seen it before...I guess I just got lucky and he knew what he was talking about.

have just joined this forum and read the beginning of this story with sadness, but I am so pleased she is doing well and I must say she is an absolute stunner.....you have got to give yourself a pat on the back for sticking by her and bringing her back to good health. btw my male leo crash used to stargaze when we first brought him home.........he stopped doing it after a few weeks :)

Great job with her!
She looks to be able to develop some nice yellowish dots, which makes her to a banana blizzard. :)

She looks like a patterless that turned into a blizzard, now are you sure thats the same leo thats in the first pic? Why did she lighten up so much?

I agree that the photo of the gecko in the hand appears to look more like a blizzard, but it could be just the flash on the camera. I still say it's a patty... :wink:

Hi Steph,

It seems that one of my males got the same problem. A friend of mine told me your story and gave me the link for this very interesting case.
How many Flagyl was prescribed per day for your female (in mg) ?

Thank you very much.
