Im so scared right now, i came home to find the small latch on my snakes tank open and my cat pawing at a terrified curled up ball python. Hes all scratched up, I was in tears when i picked him up so I didnt get a good look at him right away but after a better inspection when I calmed down it looks like his scales are all scratchy everywhere though not really punctured but there is a good cut right under his head/throat about 1/2 an inch to an inch long that looks pretty deep.. i rinsed him with water and tried to gently flush out the wound as best as I could, and replaced the substrate in his tank with paper towels so its more clean... should i take him to a vet? Or be putting anything on the wound?? Im really scared about it getting infected or him not being able to eat. Please help with any advice!!
