Most of the time when a gecko loses its tail no treatment is necessary. You can try soaking in a dilute betadine solution if concerned about infection. If truly infected, Lala may need a visit to a reptile veterinarian. More about gecko's dropping their tails. http://m.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?articleid=2485
