Injured lizard - help?

[IcedCactus]

Hi all,
I found a baby blue tongue lizard today at my parents' place, with a wound on its side just back from one of its front legs (possible due to parents' cats..). It wasn't moving very well but didn't look otherwise hurt so I have put it in a cardboard box just to keep it away from the cats, with a piece of PVC pipe, some mashed banana and some water.

I am not at home at lot so don't think I have the time or skills to be able to care for it properly so my plan is to take it home with me as we have no dogs or cats and release it into our garden. Just wondering if anyone has any other tips/help about what else I should do until then, or even if anyone is able to take it and properly look at its wound/look after it (I know it's a long shot!).

Thanks
Laura

you could take it to your local herp vet, they can treat it and a carer can look after it then release it.

i called the fauna rescue people and took him to someone near me who looks after lizards.
