Lizards
Quick answer
Contact a vet or
wildlife hospital for information on treatment.
Further
information
Like all wildlife, lizards can suffer from a variety of ailments
and injuries and treating small animals is always tricky.
Contact a local vet or wildlife hospital for advice if you find
an injured or ill lizard.
Don't be alarmed if you see a common lizard or slow-worm with a stump where its tail
should be - the ability to drop their tail when attacked is a
defence mechanism.
If you come across a dead lizard, hopefully it's nothing to
worry about. Determining causes of death can be very difficult
and unless you find a large number dead all at the same time/in
the same place it's unlikely to be anything to be too concerned
about.
If your cat has brought home a lizard it's best to try and
re-release it as soon as possible, providing it's uninjured.
Choose a nearby suitable habitat that offers protection from the
weather and other predators.
