Your vet is the only one who can perscribe medication that your leo will need. they are also the onlyperson who can say for sure what is wrong with your gecko. I strongly advise you to take it to a vet! The sooner the better!

This is one of the best sites out there. There's stuff about impaction. http://www.drgecko.com/index.html

After reading this site if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. If you think your geckos are impacted then firstly take them off any loose substrate or feed them smaller sized insects and give them warm baths to encourage and help bowl movements

Based on your earlier posts, I strongly suggest you take your gecko to a vet. Impactions do a lot of internal damage, and even if you get the impaction removed, there could be a possible bacterial infection.
