Why is my leopard gecko having eye problems and shedding on its toes?

Question

Hello... I was wondering if you could help me figure out what’s wrong with my Leopard Gecko’s eyes... He’s also having a lot of trouble shedding on his toes, this has caused him to damage one of them... Pet's info: Reptile | Gecko | Male | unneutered | 20 years and 10 months old

Thanks for reaching out about Firkle and including a photo. Vitamin A deficiencies are commonly involved with ocular changes. The deficiency can lead to changes in skin cells (cornea, toes, etc) that affect shedding and can lead to secondary infections. Besides improving the diet, the eyes should be cleaned out during a veterinary visit, and antibiotics prescribed. Warm water soaks can help with the toes to soften the skin, and gently remove. Good luck.
