I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to your little guy.

Make sure you disinfect EVERYTHING with a 10% bleach solution before your next gecko arrives, or you will run a good risk of re-infection.

Also, don't ever let a vet force-feed your gecko (and rarely ever a snake for that matter). If the vet was trying to get nutrients into him/her they should have suggested you offer watered down baby food (with calcium and vitamins added) through an eye dropper/syringe. Leopards usually lap it right up.

Good luck with your new gecko!
