Help! My Leo won't eat

My leo Penelope won't eat. She hasn't eaten for almost a month now, and her tail's getting pretty thin I had to take her home with me for three weeks while I recovered from surgery, and she must have gotten really stressed. I've been back home now for over a week and she still won't eat.

Other than not eating I haven't seen any behavioral changes: she still drinks water, licks calcium, and comes out at night to sit on the rocks at the warm end(Under Tank Heater). I keep her cool side at 73 and warm side at 93ish and have the same photoperiod. When I took her home I was very careful and kept her in a cooler while going between the house and the car. I kept her in the same enclosure while at home as I usually do.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take her into the vet and stress her out more, but maybe someone here has an idea. Also, her poop doesn't look right, but then again she hasn't eat anything for a while. Poor Penelope, I am so worried about her.





Thanks

Sorry to hear your little girl isnt eating, she doesn't look to bad from the picture, but I am only just getting to know geckos, maybe you should take a poo sample to the vets and get it checked for parasites, and take her along too for a health check, hope she recovers soon, good luck, keep us updated!!!
