Re: Sick Leopard Gecko
Betadine can be used as a topical to help treat the cyst. Technically, so could chlorhexidine, but you're not supposed to get that in an animal's eyes. I would not recommend draining the cyst yourself. Reptile puss is not generally liquid, it is a solid mass, it won't "drain." There's no telling what damage you could do the lizard trying to put pressure on a solid mass near the eye or brain.
Keep environmental conditions where they need to be and keep getting food/water in to the gecko until you can see a vet.
