    Struggling with this with my 12 year old Leo. Gonna try everything you did, I caught it relatively early as he has only been sluggish for about 5 days. Your story gives me hope!! Thank you for the video!

    My Leo Bubba is 120g about 11.3'' long, and 1.5 years old.
    He had a movement which was basically just Urate. That's about5 days ago. He still has a great feeding response to Mealworm Pupae. (the little white pokemon looking form of them).
    I'm praying this isn't impaction.

    My Leo is showing the same signs, how much olive oil did you give him and how often? I have been such a wreck 😢

    This was great, I’m dealing with an impacted gecko now, he looks just like that. His previous owner had him on gecko sand. I made an appointment, hopefully he pulls through.

    Thank you for this video! It is very encouraging. We have had our juvenile leo just over a month and we think she got dehydrated which led to constipation. We have been doing the same thing, bathing her and massaging her belly. She still looks more plump then Pheonix in the video so I feel like we are on the right track.

    Im so happy Phoenix is doing much better thank you for taking great care of him! im a fairly new leopard gecko mom, and my older leopard gecko is showing signs of impaction. So i found your vid to be very helpful and i will continue his warm baths as well as trying the olive oil syringe idea. You definitely got me as a new sub!

    Im Super Late but thank you so much so this! My 11 year old leo is showing signs of impaction and her stomach is a really strange blue. She won’t eat and can barely move around. I think I caught this to late but I’m going to try everything you did in hopes of saving her. Thank you so so much :D

    Nothing you could do?? How about a vet visit immediately instead of waiting weeks and weeks? I am thrilled he is ok but he should have been seen much sooner instead of watching him practically waste away .

      Jennifer Wagner The vet can’t do anything for an impacted baby. A large adult, yes. But not a baby

      I have a full adult leopard gecko that ate toilet paper in his humid hide and they won't do surgery on him. They just told me I had to keep him hydrated and see if he'd poop it out on his own then they didn't tell me to give him any oil or soak him in warm water. they just charged me $141 to give him an IV and supplements I still have to give him cuz they had to order them and the visit. Basically I'm just stuck here soaking him seeing if oil will help him and set me off with $150 less and a thumb up my ass. Btw I live in Florida and I went to an exotic vet clinic that was known for taking care of leopard geckos really well this video seems like it helped me more than they did and it was free! like????? So honestly a vet probably won't of told her to do much more besides just let it die
