Poor Scut! It's possible that the tea may have burned his paw, depending on how hot it was. I would recommend examining his paw pads closely - if they look red and sore, or if they have any blisters on them, I would take him to the vet to have this checked. If the paw looks normal and he is not limping or acting painful, then he should be okay :)
