Hi All!
One of my leopard geckos lost a significant amount of weight in a very short period of
time recently, however her female cagemate is plump and healthy. I took them both to
the vet along with stool samples, and he treated them both for "whip worm", which he
said is fairly uncommon. The skinny one also got a shot of antibiotics and is now
being fed beef & vegetable babyfood via a syringe daily. These two leopards had
previously been treated for parasites at the vet after I got them from the pet store.
Any ideas on how they could have contracted this "whip worm"? They have never been
around any other geckos since the initial treatment when I bought them. How long can
I expect it to take before I see improvement in the skinny one's weight from the hand
feeding? She seems alert and healthy otherwise.
