I would keep her separate from any other gecko's and feed her every night as she has lost her fat storage and make sure she has plenty of calcium. Also, I'd make sure to keep her habitat clean to prevent any infection. She should re-grow her tail nicely under those conditions.

ok thanks, but how long will it take to grow back the full tail.

Regrowth of the tail is not an exact science. It all depends on how healthy it is and how much it is eating.
