Snake eatten by rat..

Ok i have a 3 ft redtail boa.. i already realize im a frikin idiot so please keep your reactions to yourself.. just looking for suggestions to help until monday when i can take him to a vet.. last night my other snake refused to eat his small rat i got him. So i put it back in his tank this morning i meant to take thr rat back to the pet store on my way to work but forgot about him when i returned home i felt bas poor rat had had no food or water for almost 24 hours .. i put my larger red tail boa that was fed a large rat 2 days prior in with the small rat i figured why not let the larger snake eat the baby too. .. but after about 30 minutes ibreturned to see the small rat standing on his back eating him there were about 8 spots down the spine of the snake that have been eatten by the rat.. the snake had also regergitated the larger rat it had eatten 2 days ago.. i took all bedding out of his enclouser put in a towel heating pad water bowl and cleaned all wounds with diluted betadine.. any more suggestions would be appreciated.. thank you
