Cat managed to scratch my snake

[Yodawagon]

Don't wanna put any senses of fear into anyone but cats have a LOT of bacteria in their claws. Birds can die within 24-48 hours of a small cat scratch unless they get an antibiotic shot. I know it wouldn't be as urgent with a snake but I would call your vet and see what they think about it. It won't cost you anything just to ask them their opinion. Sorry if this seems silly but with the experience of owning birds and knowing the damage a cat scratch can do I wouldn't put it to risk if my baby got caught by my cat.

It's a miracle my family is still alive, not to mention the dogs. I don't buy it.
