Jupiter,
I agree with Brad.....sometimes the infection and/or meds will effect an
animal's appetite. I would suggest that you attempt to keep him hydrated and
possibly offer some Pedialyte or Emeraid. At this time, force feeding may be
a bit stressful for him. I would also be curious if he is losing weight.
I keep Spider geckos, too, so feel free to contact me off-list.
