Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What exactly is wrong with him? It would be much better to diagnose the problem with him first before working on forcing some food down his mouth

Hmm definitely sounds like you're doing the right thing by getting him to the vet. In the meantime, if the eye problem is an infection, you could try using some Terramycin on it. Right now though until you get him looked at, I would try feeding him some easy to digest foods like wax worms, and keeping up with some of the baby food. I've also heard of people smashing up crickets/mealworms into a paste by using either a food processor or a mortar and pestle (preferably one you don't use for your self!), putting the mixture in a syringe, and then giving that to the gecko. Make sure the shells of the worms are broken down for the most part, as these can be tough to digest for sick/young geckos. These are just some ideas of what you can try until you have a vet check him out!

You can also buy Essential Nutrients from Nature Zone. Its a power than is sprinkled on top of food like calcium dusting. I used it on my gecko who was a trouble eater and slow grower and the difference it made was ten fold.

Cheapest and best way to go for infections is neosporin ( I hope I spelled it right). It's a universal antibiotic good for all reptiles and safe to consume. I had a leopard that had an eye infection and dead skin unable to remove and it cleared up. Unfortunately he was also sick so I had to put him down.
