nursing lizard back to health

I got a new lepard gecko for free from someone I saw at the pet store last week.The gecko is in poor health.It is very skinny and has shed left on its toes and other various places.I have put it in good living conditionns with a humid hide,2 hides(cool and warm sides),water,and plenty of small mealies.I took it to the vet and it has no parasites or anything like that.Anyone have advice on how to get it healthy?I am feeding gut loaded mealworms with Repcal vitamines and calcium with d3.Is there anythings else I should do?

Thanks

I think you're doing the right thing. I would give it wamn water soaks, then gently with a Q-Tip try to remove the leftover shed. I think in time, it will get fatter. Good for you!
