Hi,
Brand new here. Need help.
Long story,short, been feeding feral cat at work for last couple of months at work.
Got where she would come up to only me, and even get in my lap.
During Thanksgiving Break, I drove down(30 miles away), to feed her, and her face was severely swollen. Thought initially, hit by car, but a few days later, noticed open wound on side of face trying to heal. I started her on a anti-botic for several days, and cleaned the wound twice a day.
We have spotted Racoons near wher she stays, going through dumpster(work at a industrial plant). I was able to finally get her in a carrier and take her home, two weeks ago.
Had her in Garage, in a huge cage first week, now she has the whole garage.
She of course was in a state of panic, for a few days, but started to adjust some.
Last night, noticed she has bloody spots on top on head, and pus. Appetite has dimished, mostly drinking water. Cleaned her wound, on top of head, and the one on side is still healing.
My problem is we just spent over 3,000 on my daughter's cat for urinary blocks, and a surgery., so we don't have it finacially, even took a loan out to pay for our other cat. I know this cat needs a strong anti-botic. Is there any needle injection I can give her?, or from any feed stores,(I have injected chickens, recently),Our Vet, and all of them in this area, do not have paymant plans. PLEASE help with any advice.
My wife was concerned with possible rabies, but I do not think that's likely?
Thanks so much for your reply, stickboy
