Maybe three-year-old male leopard gecko wasn’t eating tail was twitching, took it to vet yesterday it had an abscess and required a hemi-pene drain and flush. Afterwards it lost the use of its rear legs it won’t move them there’s no resistance if you gently lift the rear legs they feel dead. Called vet they said wait till today see if they are moving brought it back to the vet they did x-rays nothing shows, vet re-examined it and believe it could be nerve damage. calcium levels are fine it’s not underweight. is there any hope here? the vet was unsure and told us give it a few days, if it doesn’t regain use of its rear legs the are recommending we have him put down which we don’t really want to do but we also don’t want him to suffer. He is on antibiotics and pain meds so he’s comfortable for now
