Even LTC's can have the bacteria, fungi or parasites within their bodies and due to some form of stress (in this case-possibly through competition), the immune system breaks down. It's good that the gecko is going to the vet today, as your other Cat Gecko(es) may also have a predisposition to the same patholog(ies). The gecko should be quarantined into a sterile environment w/ hides & papertowel substrate, water (dripped onto nose/mouth)-for hydration, etc. In the interim, you may consider bumping-up the temperature in the caging by 5-10 degrees F. to stimulate an immune system response. Provide similar husbandry re: low-level lighting, humidity, but with warmer temps.



I would refrain from feeding waxworms, as they are fattening & not too nutritious. The liquid "A/D" diet would be best in small quantities as you stated. Also, keep the gecko hydrated as much as possible. I hope the problems get resolved & if you don't mind, please post an update.



Goodluck.
