Hi

Sorry your little guy is not doing good.

Question, is there a chance that you could have pulled a little skin off when you got the shed off of his face?.

Something is definitely wrong with him and he needs to get to a vet. . He should be eating more than once a week for you, everyday.

He more than likely has an internal infection going on and that swelling could be from an infection of which could affect his eating. Have the vet. check him for internal parasites as well, they also can have an affect on eating.

I had a couple of my geckos once that where shedding to frequently to me and when I had taken them to the vet. for something else, mentioned it to my vet., and he said that it was probably a skin infection and the medication he was giving me for them for something else, would also take care of that situation.
