haha dont worry i wont contact your vet, besides the call would cost way more then its worth to me, i live in california. well i really hope this works for you. i just dont see how it will when like i said parasites have a life cycle much like a flea. with parasites the flagyl or panacure supposedly doesnt work on the eggs or wutever. and two weeks later you will have more parasites except it may seem as though your gecko is doing better but its really just that the parasites are still young. after another few weeks - a few months youll be right back where you started from except beleive it or not i have actually read that in situations like this the parasites can actually become imuned to it. then your really screwed. i dont know what you would have to do after that i didnt look into it because i would rather play it safe then sorry. but if you do do it for a full 14 days it may work even though all the days in between the 1st day, 7th day, and 14th day is just a waste of medication and harsh on the geckos stomach and liver. anyhow if you dont get your gecko to eat you can give your gecko beef, chicken, or turkey baby food. sometimes they just need a little meet/protien or energy to start eating again. you feed this to them using an eye dropper. you can also use vanilla ensure, the drink for old people. i dont know if they have that over in the UK. anyhow i think i already said this all, but i am just stessing it because i have owned and breed over like 50-70 geckos and have adopted several sick geckos and nursed them back to health to be re-adopted again. not just leopards either. however i am nowhere near as experienced as your vet im sure but i am going to school to be a vet and specialize in small exotics and reptiles. anyhow once again i am sorry if i sound like i am yelling at you, im not trying to. i am just a concerned gecko lover as yourself. ill stop posting now unless you ask a question or something.
