I'm new to this forum for please forgive me for any mistakes:
I recently "adopted" a stray found at a friends house. He was obviously a pet. He is VERY VERY thin but, he acts like he is more starved of human attention then of food.
you have to peel him off of you just so that he will eat.
He is covered in ticks (already applied some tick and flea meds) and has an open sore the size of a nickel on his neck behind his right ear.
The sore isn't infected yet but I'm not takeing any chances. Hydrogen peroxide to the rescue... and tomorrow if the vet has an opening he will go in. We're going to get the full work-up. tests for everything. I already have one cat and two dogs so I want to make sure that everything is safe before we bring him into the house with the others. ( he's in the garage right now, and seems very pleased to be to be out of the woods, even if it's a garage!)
The cat appears to be siberian or some sort of mix. I could be wrong though.
Have I forgotten anything? Is there something I can do that I haven't done yet, to help him through the wait for the vet?
