Help!! Cat scratched a chick

Watch her carefully for any distress. Cats have bacteria in their saliva and under their claws that can cause a rapid and fatal systemic infection in smaller birds. I know administering antibiotics via injection in this situation is beyond the means of most home chicken keepers for a chick, but that is what we would do if it was a wild bird caught by a cat.
