LEO HELP....again

[TheOneThatGotAway]

Okay. I'm at a loss here. I have femal leopard gecko that's about a year old and she will not eat. She lives in her own 10 gal aquarium with one hide at each end, plus a piece of slate for basking. Her tale is now as thin as my pinky finger while may healthy male's is closer to my thumb. We took her to a vet, and found out she was constipated and infected with worms. We gave her the medication for the perscribed time period. She's living on reptile sand, but the vet said it had NOT impacted.

She's completely healthy otherwise. She's active, her eyes are clear, and her mouth is bright pink.

I don't know what to do. Please help me!

What are the temps? I had an almost year old leo that would go a few weeks without eating and then would eat a lot. And then go again a week or so without eating. But it could be the temps.

 

[TheOneThatGotAway]

But she hasn't eaten in MONTHS. I have no idea how she's alive.

I'm not sure of the temps 'cause i cant find dry thermometers ANYWHERE near me. But I do know its the same as the male, since they have the same light and tank location

Have you let her soak in warm water yet? Do this twice a day for 20 minuets. It could help her pass whatever is giving her the constipation.

It could be dehydration

 

[reptech]

it could be stress from the male

No he said she lives alone in a 10 gallon.

I haven't soaked her, but the doc got most of the build-up out. I'll try it anyway though.

She has a constant water source, so I don't see how it could be dehydration.

And yes, she lives alone, although she does have a view of the male's tank they're right next to each other). That wouldn't affect her, would it?
By the way, I'm female ^^;

Don't worry, I knew you were a girl.

Definitely give her a soak for the next few days just to be sure all the waste is out of her system. And it couldn't hurt to block the view of each other by placing a piece of cardboard between the cages. Have you tired feeding her wax worms? They can help fatten her up and you can leave them in a dish in her cage.

Opps, I had no idea you were a girl. My baaaaad.
