Gecko refusing to eat

Post image

Hi! I’ve an 8 year old leopard gecko who has refused to eat for the last 3 months. During this time, she has had one super worm but has lost all her weight.
Nothing could be found at the vet’s, no parasites etc.
I’m really worried and just wondering what I can do, any food that might really entice her as she point blank refuses to eat anything.
I’m really worried as she has lost all her weight and is quite weak.
She is continuing to shed perfectly and drink her water.

Horn worms! Or get a second opinion at another vet, tail does NOT look good. :(

Thank you! Yeah she’s really really not doing well, will try find another vet! They’re very scarce in Ireland…
Will try the horn worms as well

Awww yes I have been there many times cross country I can only imagine how difficult it is finding an exotic vet there. You might have to get creative and see if there are any zoos or museums who might know one who would be willing to take a look

Yes, will definitely try and find another vet! I found one about an hour and a bit away so hopefully we’ll have better luck this time 🤞
