Help ASAP, my ball python got attacked by cats

This ^ ^ ^ ! Call first to make an appointment, always. An insulated cooler makes a good temporary carrier for a securely bagged snake to travel in, so they aren't exposed to constantly changing temperatures (excess heat OR cold) & the stressful activity of travel.

I assume you tried using the site I posted earlier to find a vet, but if not, here it is again: https://arav.site-ym.com/search/custom.asp?id=3661

If you have a good relationship with a local vet (like for your cat), you can also try asking them if they'd be willing to CONSULT by phone with another (exotic specialist) vet to treat your snake. All you'd be asking of the vet you see is to accurately weigh your snake (he'll be in the secure cloth bag, then the weight of the bag is subtracted to find HIS weight, so IF you have 2 identical cloth bags or pillowcases, that would help, so he can stay in the bag if they prefer) to calculate an accurate dosage of a proper antibiotic to try. That last part is where their consultation with a herp vet comes in. Explain this & ask. As far as an antibiotic, it typically means you'll need to give him injections- the vet can show you how. I believe there's also a few YouTube videos that also show this.

The injuries done by your cat should have been quickly attended to for best results, as far as your snake being on an antibiotic- the longer you wait, IF there is a systemic infection brewing, it gets harder to treat. The topical first aid is only part of the story, it's more about what germs your cat put into your snake's body. No one can tell you he's fine now or that he isn't- without an antibiotic, he may seem fine for a while (while the infection grows) until he isn't- he may go septic & die*. I don't know, nor does anyone else. We're giving you our best suggestions to keep your snake healthy- whether you follow our advice, only time will tell what's going on. We aren't seeing your snake, but on the surface, he may appear to be fine anyway. He may even BE fine on his own, but you described what happened & asked for our help- so we're giving you our best advice here, it's up to you to take care of your pet.

*Septicemia is a condition in which bacteria and the toxins they produce proliferate in the blood stream and other body organs. Snakes with septicemia are critically ill and are often near death.
