First make sure she has adequate heat. I'm guessing you might already, but you didn't mention it in the first post.
A good trick you can try is mixing some multivitamin (I use Herptivite) with water, then dabbing drops on her nose to lick off. Be careful not to get any in her nostrils. Just a few drops is enough. The hydration seems to really help stimulate appetite in leos. It's a trick recommended to my by my vet, and it's worked for me every time.
Another option is to try feeding roaches. I know that sounds nasty, but if you can a hold of any lobster or discoid roaches, they may pique her interest. They're known to get picky leos eating again.
Are you absolutely sure there aren't any vets you can visit? Check herpvetconnection.com and anapsid.org/vets for any you might have overlooked. arav.org is another site you can try, but normal cat/dog vets get themselves listed for the extra publicity.
