Hello guys! I found this wild philippine gecko on our porch. He's got bite marks all over his back and his tail is got. It appears our house cat went hunting last night and found this poor creature.

I washed him with tap water because ants are starting to crawl on him. He's still breathing. I currently placed him in a small aquarium and applied betadine on his wounds.

What else can I do for him? I want him to live because as I have heard, these guys are now endangered here in my country!

Here's the pic of the poor fellow:

From the looks of the photo hes pretty bad, Is he still going at it? Honestly if he still is i dont think hes going to make it. I have tried to save geckos like him before but infections from cats are REALLY bad and dangerous even to humans. The Cats infection to him could be like a bite from a Komodo dragon which is way too much for him to handle. If hes still going see if you can get him some food, water, and some thing to treat the wound. Ive heard of Polyspirn and Neosprin though ive never had a reason to use either. Good luck, Poor little guy.
