A few months ago, I screwed up big time with my leopard gecko.
I made some bad decisions, mostly consisting of "His worms are all gone... I'll wait until I go out with my brother to get some more," and putting it near the back of my mind like that.
I didn't take action, and my brother and I didn't end up hanging out. I can't drive, but I should have said something.
Regardless, he was in pretty bad condition, and Lena, having more experience, has been taking care of him since.
She's told me that he's in critical condition now, and he'll probably have to be euthanized.
She told me that I could put him in the fridge for a bit until he's in a coma, and then freeze him, and it shouldn't hurt him, but I've read that it might be painful in the final seconds, and I want him to go as peacefully as possible.
What's the best course of action here?
Should I take him to the vet? Have I been misinformed about the freezing, and that would work fine without harming him?
Thank you.
