Default sick frog-eyed gecko

I have had my frog-eyed gecko, Stewey, for about 3 years. He stopped burrowing 6 months ago and his appetite decreased. He has lost lots of weight and I think he might be dehydrated. Two days ago he convulsed and now seems to have no use of his limbs. Eyes still dialate and sips water from medicine dropper. Should I prepare for the funeral or is this some strange hibernation phase due to extreme changes in outside temperature? I've read that some geckos brumate, however, I can't find any info on what they look like while they're in that state. Please, if anyone can help, I'd hate to lose my friend.

Well, I'm sad to say Stewey passed on to the Rainbow Bridge today. We buried him where I'm going to plant some new plants in the spring. I'm very upset and would like to get a new gecko very soon to help with the grieving process. I haven't seen any more frog-eyes in my area since we got him, so if anyone has any suggestions of geckos that have the same temperment as the frog-eyes I'd love to have another with such personality. Rest in peace, Stewey, we'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge.
