Jake - cat attack

Yes, he does need antibiotics. Cats have a lot of very nasty bacteria in their mouths, which is now in your chameleon. A healthy bird can be killed by the bacteria from a single puncture wound in less than 24 hours. Reptiles aren't as sensitive but it is still a very serious concern. I put my own chameleon on antibiotics for a minor puncture wound from my cat.

That is good information to know!
Thank you for sharing that with the forum.
I would never have guessed that seeming minor wounds from cats can be fatal from the bacteria alone.

Glad the cover is now more secure, Tdismang and I hope you've seen the veterinarian's (Ferretinmyshoes) warning.
Hope your cham is OK.
