Lizard rushed to hospital after swallowing teddy

A lizard was rushed to hospital after eating a McDonald's Happy Meal toy.

''It was such a stressful journey as I was worried that he would choke.''

Victoria Ord rushed two-year-old Keva to a reptile specialist after he swallowed a furry teddy bear whole.

The scaly creature needed a one-hour operation and had to be kept in intensive care to recover.

She told The Sun newspaper: ''Keva saw it move quickly and thought it was a mouse, which is what he usually eats.

''By the time I noticed what had happened it was too late. I couldn't stop screaming. I was so panicked I didn't know what to do so immediately rang the vets.
