i came home today to find my leopard gecko had somehow gotten out of the tank and eaten by my cat. she ended up throuwing up most of it, but i just want to see if anyone knows if they are poisonous or anything, i dont want something to happen to my cat now.. i know she ate him, because his tail was still under the couch.. :(

well, after i wrote this i then realized that their tales are very fragile and rip off easily... we then checked all over the apartment, and found him... he isnt doing good but hes alive, he has puncure wounds on his sides and belly, and you can see blood inside his stomach area, like he has internal bleeding... any suggestions on what to do if theres anything beside letting him die.. thank you. and thank you for everyones thoughts.
 
I would take him to a vet who specializes in lizards. I have taken my geckos to the vet before and they were very helpful
 
Take him to a vet, cat saliva is deadly to reptiles. Their saliva contains bacteria similar to a Komodo Dragron's. Without antibiotics the lizard will die.
 
o yea, i heard esp in the us a vet that specialises in herps is best, because regular vets dont really know what they are doing?!
 
Try and get injectable antibiotics rather than oral. Reptiles have trouble matabalizing oral antibiotics. With which ever kind you get make sure to raise his heat, it will help make the medication more effective.
