Tiny baby lizzard

Question
Unfortunately, my cat & dog found a tiny, baby lizard.  By the time I rescued him, he was not looking so good.  His back legs look kind of "bum."  He's only about 1" long (yes, one INCH) & just precious.  I know he needs to be released outside, but I wanted to be sure he's not partially paralyzed 1st.  So far, he only lifts his head & tries to "talk" to me.  I told my boyfriend that he keeps trying to "meow" to me, cause thst's what it looks like (& I'm a cat person).  So, what kind of environment should I set him up in till I know her's OK?  What do I feed him, how do I give him water, etc?  I know NOTHING about lizards, just that I hate for this little guy to get a shitty hand.  Now I feel very protective towards him.  Pleasr help!!!  THANKS!!!

Answer
 The gaping could be fear, pain or both.  If he has injuries then a wildlife rehabber is who you need.  National Wildlife Federation will be able to give you the name of one nearest you.  Or, of a herpetological society is near you, they also will know the names of rehabbers in your area.
