Hi everyone. I am writing on behalf of my mother who is caring for a male feral. he was very shy at first but has grown more used to her. but he still won't let her touch him. Mom lives alone in China where there aren't that many vets. (Especially for cats.) So I don't think trapping him and taking him to a vet is an option.
Three days ago, mom saw that his balls under his tale are red and swelling. she says they're about the size of egg yolks. she says he can't really lower his tale anymore. Maybe it's some kind of infection? Furthermore, he hasn't been his usually active self. Instead of exploring during the day and only coming to mom's porch for food and sleep, he's been just lying on the porch for three days. the good new is, he's still eating and hasn't lost his appetite.
I just want to know if anyone has any idea of what's wrong with him. Is it serious and/or life-threatening?! We are very, very worried. We don't know what to do! There must be something we can do for this poor little cat! Please Please Help!!
