Gecko that was attacked by your cat?
Geckos have a very fragile exterior and if wounded, can take months to heal. If your gecko has an open wound it is best to keep it moist. Non scented Petroleum jelly works great to ensure the wound does not become infected. Please refrain from using something that can ultimately dry the wound out more, such as peroxide. If the animal is unable to move, eat/drink, or use the restroom, it is best to bring the animal to an expert.
Cat claw infections?
Cat claw infections, often referred to as cat scratch fever, can be a serious condition. My wife got scratched once and didn't take it seriously and it almost cost her a finger. If you get scratched or bitten by a cat or dog, immediately cleanse the wound with warm soapy water, then use hydrogen peroxide, bactine, neosporin or some other antiseptic spray or gel. Clean the wound every couple of hours and at the first sign of infection, redness around the cut, the cut spreads open wider, or puss oozes from it, get to a doctor at once!
