Petajensen99 Have you brought to vet to check for diagnosis of Sporo? Reason: its hard to confirm diagnose and it is very similar to "kurap" or other skin like fungal infections or wounds from stray cat fighting. Other skin like fungal infections and wounds from cat fight can be easily treated. Sporo takes more time and care. Just checking if you have confirmed properly it is indeed Sporo with a professional.

Humans having serious/critical medical issues or death from Sporo is extremely rare, like extremely rare. sporotrichosis is so common in the asia tropical environment that if it is so scary to humans - we humans (malaysia) would have pandemic because we are daily exposed (Sporo is also airborne infectious)(its also available from common plants!!). So for those scary internet stories to occur - the human host most often time are already severely sick or immunodeficient for sporotrichosis to do anything damaging. So for most cases of infection to humans, our antibodies can handle it or just medication when diagnosed.

Putting a critically sick animal to sleep from the vet costs anywhere from rm10-50. usually > rm30 is quite good facility. You can share your case and info with the vet and negotiate.
