My boa has been cut or bitten by the mouse/rat. What should I do?
Instant Solution
==============================================
Clean cuts and gashes with a 50/50 hydrogen peroxide/water solution. Use a swab to clean the area.
Apply Polysporin or Neosporin to the affected area twice a day.
Consult your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Bites by rats can be severe, and sometimes fatal. Here are examples of severe rat bites.
