Severely Emaciated Leo

I hate how one of my little juvi geckos is on death's doorstep and I can't find any herp vets in my area! I feel so helpless! My family has been travelling all summer and we're finally home for a while. She has been holding on for so long and I don't know what's wrong. She is incredibly skinny, tail all shrivelled, eyes closed a lot, and I am feeding her that FLuker's Emergency aid for carnivores so she has something do digest. She goes to the bathroom every night and has a dark blue area (internally) on the right side of her chest which reaches out to her side too. I am doing all I can to find her a vet but I fear it may be too late Any advice on what the blue is? I want to help her so bad because she wants to live. I am sad.

im sorry but i can't help but be skeptical and unsympathetic
What happened? Did you take it traveling with you? Is it eating, what are the temps, how old, etc?
Why is it so sick?

Honestly the only option is taking it to a vet. We're just here to advise to our best knowledge however none of us can actually perform tests nor see your gecko.
Try explaining it some more, and someone more compassionate than I may answer
