How long does it take a lizard to heal?


Rate This Answer

It depends on the wound. Wounds should be disinfected and bandaged as soon as possible. Irrigate the wound with a Betadine/saline solution or iodine solution, or place the lizard in a soaking container filled with the solution. Minor wounds can be coated in antibiotic ointment and allowed to heal or wrapped in a bandage and secured with Vetrap or a similar product. Do not use tape on reptiles, as it can damage their scales. For treatment of serious wounds, contact your vet immediately.
