Hi Petra,
Whenever this happens you have to check the basics, temps, environment,
etc for correctness. Use a good quality reference like a book
specifically focusing on your type of gecko. Internet care sheets are
dandy but only when written well...how is a novice to know this? Any
sick gecko should be isolated and kept on paper towels. Also, not being
within driving distance of a non-domestic vet is not a reason to not
consult one. A fecal still needs to be done, this can be done by any
vet, who will often work with a non-domestic vet. Be sure to check out:

and/or

to get a non-domestic to consult with. That should be your first step.
Expect to pay a fee for the service. Let us know how it goes!
