Rescue in need of help! ASAP.
Rescued this gal that was left at PetCo yesterday by some kid who didn't want her anymore. I believe she has some vision, she was able to catch a cricket yesterday and has found her way around the tub.
Here are picture of both eyes:

She is in a 17qt tub, with moistened paper towels to create a high humidity sauna. I put neosporin on both eyes yesterday before bed and tried to work it off gently with a q-tip to no avail, I put more on it this morning and will continue for the next few days. I have saline to rinse the eyes soon after I get it off. I have been putting Beechnut Turkey Baby Food on her lips for food and hydration.
Any other advice?

Poor girl. She looks pretty okay, aside from her eyes. I'm surprised she's not missing any toes. Add a moist hide box in her tub with her with either damp sphagnum moss or wet paper towel. Just keep working the shed off with a q tip with water or shed ease. It should (hopefully) eventually come off. Keep plenty of water in a water bowl & be sure to dust the crickets with vitamin d3/calcium and keep a tray of regular calcium in her tub, too.

Poor babe. Is she in good gecko spirits, at least?

That is optimistic; although, I think one would be able to tell based on its reaction to movements or lack thereof.
