This story happened two weeks ago, but I got really sick that night and couldn't write for three days. I am better now and will tell you the story as follows: After lunch today, a boy from around here that I know, showed me behind the kitchen building to where a lizard lay, it's ribcage was heaving in and out with a great effort to breath, and it had blood coming out of it's nose, in drops that formed a puddle. Also its head was slightly indented as if something had whacked it,and there was some scales scratched off it's side. The boys name is Emanuel and he said the dog bit it, but I wonder if he did it, I know he is mean to animals a lot, but I can't be sure. Anyhow I knew that it needed help it was so weak that it didn't even try to get away when I picked him up and put him in my box. I then told mama and daddy and showed them the lizard, they said if an animal has blood coming out of it's nose that it is a goner, this made me sad but I didn't give up.
I got a plastic glove and a napkin and dabbed at the blood.then the idea occurred to me to put
something flat underneath him and raise the end his head was on so the blood wouldn't rush to his head. I immediately found a tile and put it underneath the lizard and raised the end with a rock. I saw that some scales were loose where the indent was and removed them by simply rubbing them gently. From the start Emanuel was watching, helping, and talking, he said that it was in the crocodile family I really doubt this but it could be. I looked it up on-line and found nothing about it, not even its name. He also said that it wanted water, I was sceptical of this suggestion but tried it any way. The result was amazing! The once still lizard (with the exception of the heaving), moved it's head to be in the stream of water coming from the cup, and then stood up on it's hinged legs as to get closer to the source of water. After that we kept putting water on him he just kept getting better. The bleeding had already stopped. He is fine as frog hair now, but still doesn't move much. And now for a question I still ponder, which saved him: the water, the elevation,or he got better by himself. Please tell me what you think in your comments. The End
