I can't help but be really worried :(
I posted previously about my "picky gecko." Well, she still hasn't eaten. She has some discoloration visible through her belly that really concerns me. There is so much misinformation and contradicting information online, so I'm hoping you guys can give me clarity. I have some people telling me these areas indicate parasites, liver failure, etc. and others saying it's just her organs visible through translucent skin. I was always able to see through my previous gecko and he was fine, so now I'm just confused.
She's been to the vet and was prescribed Panacur for potential parasties and Baytril for bacteria (I read about the issues with baytril wiping out the good bacteria, but her dose is quite minute). Since she hasn't been eating on her own, I've been giving her Reptaboost every morning and she appears to be keeping that down well. Her poo is green and gooey, nothing solid at all, but she has been producing waste consistently every night. I'm hoping to bring in a sample for testing on Thursday.
Anyway, here is a shot of her belly...Any ideas, advice, stories from experience, ways to get her eating?? Anything? I don't want to lose her!

Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could do only a little.
