I'm worried about my leopard gecko

[Lula2002]

Hi,
I'm really worried about my leopard gecko Tiger Lily. She's usually very active and is always hungry, but yesterday i went to feed her and she would barely move. She ate four locusts but the last two were a struggle to get her to eat. This morning I went to feed her again and could only get her to eat one locust. She seems very unhappy, she is shying away from my touch, moving slowly, and there seems to be something wrong with her eyes (they are in slits). Also she seems to be having trouble eating (opening and closing her mouth a lot and eating really slowly like she did as a baby). I got her out and put her on my bed which she usually loves but she just crawled under a pillow and doesn't move unless i lift it. I am very worried about her because she is only 6 and this is really unusual for her, especially with the eating. I handfeed her anyway because she won't hunt anymore, but usualy as soon as I have a locust, shhe is jumping up and eating it in a few seconds, now its as if se can't see it, but when i bring it closer she backs away. Please, if anyone has any answers, reply, because i'm very worried.
Thanks,
Lula

Are you sure the temperatures on the ground are correct? Has she been supplemented consistently with calcium and vitamin D3? If the answer to either or both of these questions are "no", then you need to correct this. If the answers are "yes" then I think you're going to have to find a reptile vet, unless she's just sluggish because it's getting to be winter.

I think there may be a problem with her heat mat because a couple of times I went to check and it was really cold even hough it was turned on, so i'll sort that out and hope she gets better!
Thanks

Keep us posted. She will definitely be more sluggish if she's cold.

She's a lot better, she's still sleeping a lot but I think it might be because its winter. Her tail is looking fat again and i've changed her calcium, It's definitely an improvement
