Has she used the restroom since you've had her?
Just curious because if so its probably not impaction. You could give her a bit of olive oil or mineral oil to see if that helps if she hasn't used the restroom.. but just a very small amount.

She used the bathroom many times. I have had her for about a month. Now when she goes it is all liquid. She was eating well at first, but now it is not at all. When I hold her up to light I can see that there is nothing in her bottom half. I'm pretty sure its parasites from being in a cage with a million geckos at petco. She still drinks water though.

my poor juvie hypo tang still hasnt eaten anything either. ive had her for almost 6 weeks now and the only thing she has gotten in her was parasite meds from the vet and a little chicken baby food. i got lucky with my vet, $40 for everything. visit, meds, and the follow up visit and treatment. ive heard some horror storys about $100 vet bills, so $40 is reasonable.... good luck and keep posting. my prayers are out for all the anorexic leo's out there, mine included!!!!!!!!

Sounds like parasites. She/he is probably fasting in attempt to get rid of the parasites naturally, or she/he may just not feel well enough to bother with eating. Good luck with the vet visit, I think a fecal will tell you alot about what's going on here.
