HI El and fellow cat lovers,
I saw this stray wondering on my street, he had really bad kurap all over. His ears were the worst part, they seemed to be weighed down with some infection (looked like lotsa bumps, reminded me of leprosy) and he couldnt stop scratching them. It looked extremely awful.
I came near him but it was obvious he didn't want to be approached, so I just put out a can of wet food a few meters across frm him. After i walked away he devoured the food, not a surprise as he was awfully skinny.
I was just wondering if there is anything that can be done about his condition, especially those ears. If I take him to the vet, will the vet be willing to house him until his condition is ok? My concerns are that
1)if his condition is contagious, I don't want my other cat to be affected
2)if his condition is treatable, I'm afraid I wont be able to allocate enough time daily to treat him
Does anyone know of any affordable vet in ulu kelang / wangsa maju / tmn melawati area that I could come to with this kitty? I just feel really bad for him. My street is full of fed strays (they don't belong to anyone specifically, but all of us just feed them when/if we can) but in this kitty's leper-like condition, it is only normal that people shy away and avoid him.
u can bring the cat to vet. cage him. dont mix with your other cat. i usually bring my cat to wangsa melawati vet. honesty pet care if im not mistaken. the price is reasonable. my cousin's cat got fungus. so serious untill bleeding they charge only rm20. good luck I saw this stray wondering on my street, he had really bad kurap all over.
