He still is eating but he's really skinny and his belly is transparent. He goes into this alligator like "death roll." His breathing looks really labored. we took him to the vet and they've given him 2 antibiotic shots. HELP

I think you need to get him to vet again and explain it is a serious proble, infact it is.

Take him back to the vet and explain the problem again. I've been breeding leopard geckos for 5 years and have never had this problem. Make sure you are feeding it properly and that the cage is the proper temp. Make sure that it has plenty of clean cold water.

it could be an inner ear infection, all animals roll as though they are really poorly, but only a few are, i would take him back and ask the vet if it could be this, then u could get the proper treatment for him. good luck.

He is fine. He is shaped like that because he is growing, the "death roll" is a defense mechanism and the transparent belly is part of his growth and color fluxuations.
