Hi Lynn -

I'm not much help because I've never heard of this, but I find this fascinating and I hope someone on this list knows more about it. I do want to say that I hope your gecko starts eating and recovering. It seems like you are doing a great job with her!

Good luck,
Dana

I have been writing about my leopard gecko who suddenly stopped eating.
I took her back to the vet today.  He was going to xray her but he did
an ultrasound instead.  He found a large fluid filled mass.  He did a
needle aspiration and got 5cc of crystal clear fluid out. He feels this was compressing her stomach making her unable to eat. It also explained why she was not loosing weight. He says he has seen this only one other time and what ever it was resolved after the aspiration. He wants me to
offer her food and it she still does not eat to give her baby food from
a syringe.  We have to follow up on Monday.  Has anyone ever heard of
anything like this?
