What did the vet tell you?

he said there are a lot of parasite's eggs in the fecal.
so i go to buy parasiticide (Mebendazole).
and it really work~~
she begun to eat and increased much weight.
but this time i dont know how to do.
according to my past experience ,disgorging is very hard to be cure .
she is my first sunglow and i hope someone could teach me how to let her recover.
thx a lot~~

vomiting is never a good sign.. geckos in general know how to stop themselves when they eat too much.. and three cricket wouldn't likely be a problem for gecko of the size pictured. Although the picture could maker her look bigger.

I would get her to a vet ASAP. Mebendazole - is commonly used for pinworms, round worms, and hookworms. Protozoans and nematodes can also cause this problem and Mebendazole doesn't cover these parasites. They will probably prescribe Flagyl and/or Panacur to take care of the problem. A fecal is a good idea as well if not along with an acid fast test to see if there is something very wrong. (crypto) vomiting can be an early sign of crypto; although it's generally shed skin they vomit.

Regardless a vet visit is in order.

What are the temps at? Every now and then if my temps drop too low, one of my geckos will regurgitate.

 

[gaia]

temps:26~~32
i set a timer~8 hours heating a day
she vomited her shed skin too~~
i will take her to visit a vet.
maybe there are some parasites in the fecal after i visit a vet
thx a lot

hi i took her to see the vet last week.
there is no any parasite in the faece.
the vet gave her some medicine.
but it didnt work.
could somebody give me some advices about the medicine for diarrhea?

well often two fecals need to be done because eggs of feces aren't always passed in each bowel movement. An acid fast test by your vet may help. I would try another pray item to see if it helps.. Maybe some wax worms which are fatty and easily passed.
