> I need help with my daughter's leopard gecko, I have gone to every
web-site I could find and still can't find the answer. His name is Benny and he will be 2 years old in Dec. 2007, about 2 months ago he got mouth rot, brought him to the vets got a RX and he seemed to be getting better, started eating again for a few weeks and then he started to go downhill again. He doesn't seem to have anymore mouth rot but last night I noticed he seemed to have that same color of white puss in his throat, is that normal? It's been a few weeks and he won't eat, he has shed as normal, drinking, and active from time to time as well. His heat is normal a few nights he did get down to 70 degrees but we check him throughout the night so it wasn't for more than a few hours. We clean his cage weekly, got rid of the sand and got reptile flooring. One of his eyes seem to be closed most of the time since this happened as well. I'm a single mom and can't afford another $100 vet bill for him, pl!

with him, please help? He is still poopping, peeing so he's not bound up. No parasites that I can see in his cage or in his poop.When he started getting sick again he started like dry heaving, like something caught in his throat and he's trying to get it up? Any ideas?

I hate to say it, but the vet really does need to seen. I'm not a vet, but to me it sounds like either a repeat of mouth rot or a respiratory infection. Either way, another Rx would be indicated. Sorry....
