I hate to sound discouraging, but it sounds like a typical WC imported MHD. In my experience, they rarely last long. I imagine it is the stress of being captured, packaged, and shipped from one side of the earth to the other, and being exposed to countless other imported species in some dank warehouse before ending up at a dealer's table at an expo where they're exposed to a whole new level of stress...COMBINED with a reasonable parasite load.
IMHO, you have two options. The first is get the lizard to a vet, have it dewormed, maybe bump up the basking temps a tad, DON'T HANDLE IT unnecessarily, and hope for the best.
The second is cheaper, less effort, but probably a little more taxing on your emotions: simply place the unfortunate lizard in a ziplock bag, and stick in the refrigerator, putting it out of its misery. DO NOT put it in the freezer immediately.
