I have a rescue gecko, it is on the brink of death and there are no herp vets around.
I've tried force feeding, I've kept mealworms constantly available and they've even turned to beetles in the cage at this point. Crickets used to work but she stopped eating those about 6 months ago.
She is so at the the point of skin and bone I had to touch her to see if she was alive.
I know some people freeze them but I want her to suffer as little as possible.
I don't know what to do but I made sure she was in a comfortable spot and she moves slightily as she deteriorates.
What do I do? what is the best thing for her especially since it is at night and there are no vets available. I can't stand to see her suffer anymore.
What would a vet do? What options do I have?
I read from one that cutting off the head is humane but I can't and I don't think I could do that even if it is, which I don't think is true.
She is dying, she can't\won't eat and she has deteriorated rapidly in the last 2 weeks.
What should I do?!
