In my research for an upcoming book I asked UC Davis Veterinary Teaching
Hospital folks for trends of gecko cases and reproductive problems were
on the increase. Other common problems were parasites, especially
cryptosporidium, and respiratory problems.
Back to your gecko Lynn, 36gs is a bit thin for an average sized adult
female leo, however, she is not in the danger zone quite yet. Hopefully
it will resolve on its own with TLC, however it may not. I'm sure all of
us here wish you and your gecko the best.

I took my leopard gecko back to the vet and the ultrasound reveals that
the fluid in the cysts has returned. He did not drain it again as he
thought it would just continue to fill up. He said the fluid is
definitely cystic in nature and not judt free fluid in her abdomen. The
analysis of the fluid last time did not show any infection so the vet
did not want to give her antibiotics. He can not tell the organ the
cyst originates from but guesses it is most likely from her reproductive
organs. She still has not eaten on her own in more than 5 weeks. I am
hand feeding her but she will not take much-she just wipes it off her
mouth. Her weight id down from 48 gms to 36gms. I will continue to
give her the best care I can. I just wanted to thank everyone for all
your input we appreciate it.
