What are your temps?

Take a fecal in to your vet to see if maybe there's something else there.

we rarely have an exotic vet here in the phil. any advices ?

Double check your cage temps. The first priority should be getting her weight back up. Let her eat crickets if that's what she'll eat. If she's not losing weight because of starvation then you have to find a vet to check for parasites. She's really, really thin.

Agreed with Mel&keith. I'm sure if you are even a bit concerned about your pet, any vet can check for worms. It doesn't have to be a special herp vet. A friend of mine suspected her beardie had worms took a poop to a vet that basically specializes in cats, they did the check, gave her dewormer and that was all that was needed. Also, do you know if the gecko has been housed on sand at all? I read that the number 1 cause of death in younger (under a year) gecko's is impaction. From the pictures your gecko, looks like a young juvi. If all else checks out, try feeding the slurry recipe it may help you rehydrate and kick your gecko's system into gear. Good luck!
