Got her from a friend, albino leopard gecko

[Zipperdoodles]

I have an albino leopard gecko female, and she just had a shed it was awful, I keep humidity up and have wet moss in with her, she shed all but her head and I tried to help her with shed aid, but she didnt shed her eye caps and now her eyes are a cream color mucus and you cant even see her eyes. My vet I have is a very busy woman and had to get an appt with, But I researched it and it said to use saline and I did but nothing and she is not eating so I have been force feeding her stage one baby food. I have Baytril 10mg from my Bearded dragon who just got over Meningitis, can I give that to her? I need help as I am still trying to get into my vets but she is booked solid. And help will be very much appreciated.

For bad sheds, put some warm water and paper towels in a shoebox size tupperware and leave the gecko in there for about 30 minutes. Punch just a few air holes in the side. It'll get her shed moist enough that she can work it off. It would be good to give her a little something to rub her face on too.

Get a gutload and a vitamin powder with vitamin a. They can develop eye problems and shedding problems without it. Watch out for swelling around her face, they can develop abscesses from eye problems and that requires surgery. Good luck!
