Cat disaster:( scratches

[galofthetao]

Hello all,
I have had a disaster. My husband gave my snakes water last night, per my instructions and I wake up this morning and there is my pied female beside my bed (her cage is in my room) and she had scratches on her. She is in shed and the shed is all scratched up and she has these tiny scratches on her skin. They seem superficial although I have a vet appointment in an hour just to be sure. Apparently my lovely persian found her and decided to play. I don't see any bite wounds on her and no deep wounds but when I first picked her up she was striking, obviously terrified. I have soaked her in a dilute iodine-betadine bath and applied some wound healing ointment specifically for snakes although honestly the white parts on her make it difficult to see how bad scratches are, just see pink lines (not red). I went and checked on her tank and the lid was not completely latched, last time hubby does anything. Anyway, I just want to know if anything like this has happened to anybody else and what they did, and how they helped their herp heal. Please no hateful comments, I am well aware of how important it is to have a secure lid, this was a complete accident and I cant tell you the mortifying feeling I got when I realized what happened. Any stories or related info would be appreciated.
