I just looked at your other posts and I'm in utter shock that a University Vet would be so ignorant as to try and force feed a gecko at all, especially one in that shape.

I assumed you got stuck with a normal vet that didn't really know what to do with a reptile.

Another common mistake many vets will make with leopards is giving injections to the tail (for future reference).

If you ever have any kind of a similar problem again with anorexia offer baby food watered down with pedialite. Sprinkle in a bit of calcium and vitamins and drop on the tip of the nose/corner of the mouth.

I still can't believe the vet tried to force feed that poor little thing. Jeez...
