My leopard gecko got stuck. What to do for injuries and lumps?

Question

My leopard gecko got stuck in an ordament (like really stuck, I found her hanging from it with her abdomen stuck in a hole) and when we got her out she had some light cuts from trying to escape, and it looks like an egg might have turned completely sideways and may have been why she has got stuck? She has two lumps coming out her backside where she was stuck. What should I do to care for her? Thanks!

Oh, your poor little Gecko! That's rough! Are you sure it is a female? The two things coming out the back end may be hemipenes as the males have two bulges on the underside fo the tale where their hemipenes are. If that is what is going on, it means a vet needs to try to put them back or or they may need to be amputated. Also, your little friend may need some anti inflammatory meds to reduce swelling after being stuck like that.
