Hello
His legs could be a temp nerve condition or permanent... Look for Local wildlife rehabbers,, local zoos and talk to the reptile folks there... take him to someplace that knows about reptiles....
I hope he makes it.. Good for you for giving a damn
Many folks would toss it out witht the trash...
Glad you are trtyig to help it!
Good Luck

This is a huge problem because the lizard needs to use they're back legs to hunt, burrow and get away form CATS! and more important... they use they're back legs in unison with they're front legs to control they're body temperature by bobbing up and down which cools the circulating blood in the capillaries just under the skin. only three things come to mind for helping this lizard...A very expensive exotic vet, letting it go and have fate take over or if it's in pain....well you know :( Hopes this helps, good luck

try to find a herp vet. If you cant, make sure he stays warm by putting him in a cage with uv and heat lights they need this to survive. Go to the pet store and buy some in head sized crickets to feed him. Also try to keep him hydrated by putting a small bowl of water in the cage with him.His food and heat are the mostimportant things to keep him alive.If you want me to be honest, his legs may not be able to heal depending on how badly they are damaged, but if you keep him warm and fed he can live a happy life anyway. Good Luck.

Contact a Vetrinarian.
These people specialise in medical treatment for animals.
Yahoo Answers is not the place to turn to when you're having an emergency.

You can either take him to the vet or you can take him in and put him in a cage and take care of him your self. Wrap him in a towel so he can't bite you then treat his wounds. He still may die if you do it yourself. You can try but the best thing is to take him to the vet.

Splint his legs with lollipop sticks and bandage then make sure he can't go anywhere. You will have to feed him insects and fruits until you notice him getting stronger.

Turn it loose, set it free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.
