My kitten ate a lizard. Is it toxic? What should I do for my cat?

The lizard your kitten ate may have upset her tummy. She may vomit, drool excessively, and not want to eat for a few days while the lizard is still in her stomach. If this behavior continues for more than 48 hours I would recommend taking her in the see the vet. She may need supportive care, like fluids and nausea medication, to help her until the lizard is out of her system. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!!

This honestly depends on the type of lizard. I'd monitor him for any concerning signs including vomiting, excessive salivation, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of them, have Simba seen by a vet.

The cat will not get any viruses from eating a lizard but, she can get intestinal parasites. I suggest you get her vaccinations started and have her dewormed because she needs them but I would not be overly concerned about her eating this one lizard. It should not be harmful to you in any way. I don't know if you are asking specifically about rabies but you do not have to worry about rabies. Reptiles (like lizards) do not get or carry rabies; only mammals.

The gecko itself should pose no risk other than possibly mild gastrointestinal upset. It is another source of protein for your cat. Geckos can harbor parasites such as liver flukes or other intestinal worms though. It would be best if you can prevent Vanilla from ingesting them. Regular exams and deworming would be recommended to keep her healthy. Feed a bland diet for a few days if she vomits or has diarrhea eating one. See your vet if the GI upset does not resolve.

Unfortunately, most lilies are toxic to reptiles as well as small animals. Since the ingestion occurred a while ago, you'll need to monitor for symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, decreased/increased thirst and a change in the color/amount of urates produced. Consider an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet. Baseline blood work should be submitted, then repeated in a few days or sooner if any of the above symptoms develop. Any treatment will be largely symptomatic.

Brownie should be just fine. House lizards are not poisonous. However, I don't recommend giving her the olive oil in the future, because too much fat suddenly can stress her pancreas and cause a painful and dangerous condition called pancreatitis. Just watch for vomiting and diarrhea from the oil, and take her to a vet if you see that, but otherwise you're good to go.

Geckos are not toxic, but may carry parasites that could be harmful. At worst, you may see some temporary stomach upset. Consider a short fast followed by a b;and diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to the regular diet afterwards. My condolences on the loss of your gecko.
