 Need help w/my gecko

If anyone can please tell me or advice me on my gecko, his name is guancho, and we use to let him loose in the apt, (doesn’t go outside) but today we happen to see him and he is not looking to good, so I’m worried about him, before thought he was OK, there were some roaches coming in and also we bought crickets and wax-worms, but tonight he didn’t look to good, looks skinny and wouldn’t move if touched, so if anyone can please recommend something I would highly appreciate(other than take him to the vet).

Thanks

sounds like he probably has parasites
that animal doctor place would be where to get the medication for it so I don’t know what else to say

you still got him??? Sounds like he might have caught something around the apt.. I suggest you put him in a tank.. keep him in a confine space so you can keep a better eye on him... Make sure the tank is humid, filled with food and stuff.. If he does have parasites you can give him some fenbendazole (a dewormer) You can find them at farm stores, places where they sell stuff for animals like cows and horse... Once you get that you have to weight the gecko and how much of the stuff you have to give them!!! Also you can check out this website www.drgecko.com iits mainly for leo geckos but it good for other geckos as well!!

Good luck!~
