Chaz and the scorpion

Had a scare the other night. Chaz was bitten by a scorpion. I think it was on his mouth judging by his reaction. My husband killed the scorpion. It was a really small one which concerned me. I heard they are worse. Plus Chaz is only 6 months old. I called the animal Emergency Clinic and they gave me advice. He seemed OK so we opted not to bring him in. Why do these things always happen at night?
Anyway, we watched him for several hours and he seemed all right. No swelling or drooling. He ate for me and seemed playful.
I think his mouth hurt a little and he seemed angry about it. He kept going back to the spot where the scorpion had been, looking for it.
Never a dull moment!
