She is not doing well at all, I think I need to put her to sleep :(
She's started bleeding A LOT from her vent, lost A LOT of weight... not eating... She has a sharp bone poking out her chest, I think she also has eternal bleeding, her tummy has gone dark.. I don't think she's going to make it... the earliest vet appointment I could get is this friday.. I fear I got her too late..

I'm in bits..

You are doing the right thing for Cynder. I am very sorry that you've had to go through this sorrow just 3 weeks after your purchase of your birthday leo.

Thank you all for the advice and support you have given me, It's nice to know that in the last 3 weeks Cynder was with me, and I made her as comfortable as I could. Unfortunately, there was just no coming back from her illness..

R.I.P Cynder, I'll miss you <3

I have a question.. after Cynder was euthanized, she appeared to have a prolapse .. is that normal after Euthanasia? or could that have been the cause for her bleeding? She didn't have it before..

I don't know. Perhaps someone else does?

Gosh, I just read this whole post and had to fight back tears. I am so sorry but cynder is in a better place. I really am scared for this 'breeders' other geckos. I really hope they investigate and justice is served. Cynder didn't deserve all she went through. But she got love and the best care from you these past few weeks, it's just too bad she didn't make it. I thank you for being so good to her though, she finally got the love and care she needed. Now she is in a better place, RIP Cynder. <3

The drug administered causes the muscles to relax, therefore in some cases they may have a bowel movement after the fact. Chances are Cynder was suffering internally and close to prolapsing prior to being euthanized. May Cynder rest in peace.

i actually have a leo that is 6 years old that i got from someone else and was neglected and is afraid that i will drop her so she starts peeping.but she is fat very fat. but she dosen't look normal to me.i think she needs some calcium and needs to eat.do you put a calcium bowl in her cage? also i would also think about getting repta boost which is stuff that you feed your reptile but you have to get their mouth to open and you do it 2 times a day. i have it and someone at petsmart said they had brought many reptiles back to health with it. i have it just in case but i bought it when i had a malnourished and dehydrated leo. but she wouldnt open her mouth so she died that night. but i got a new leo!

4 leopard geckos (shtct, tangerine,patternless,and jungle)
1 ball python (brother's pet)

Is this 6 year old one of the 4 leos you have right now?

Cynder, the leo in this thread, has died. :-(

Just wondering whether you could share a picture of Waffle on a New Thread here. "fat" is not really healthy. If you share a picture of Waffle, we can see how he is right now.

Maybe he's doing alright? Maybe he needs to lose a little weight?
