Sam: Magnus gave great advise there. After, I soak my skin retained geckos in luke warm water with 1 teaspoon of shed ease from Energy Savers Unlimited, Inc. If I don't have that I use ladies skin moisturiser to soften the attached skin which can then be removed with a q-tip. I pay special care around the eyes, not to get the moisturiser lotion into their eyes. I also use neosporin in the few instances that I get skin redness or a bloody toe. The lack of eating could be the effect of an infection, I don't think she became blind; but, to be sure a culture should be done by a vet. This is the only way to determine early the cause of the infection and the treatment to follow. Good Luck.
