Wonderful forum. I'm looking for some self assurance. About a week and a half ago, a stray started hanging out around our driveway. She was in terrible shape with scars/ sores, swollen eyes, matted hair. She was very sweet though, not feral. We began to feed her in hopes to lore her into a haveaheart cage and have her treated by our vet. Just this morning we were able to catch her and promptly took her to the vet. We were initially informed she had a very bad case of scabies and that they would have to test for FeLV/ FIV. The tests came back positive for both and the vet recommended euthanasia. We asked if these diseases were treatable and were told that having both FeLV and FIV, plus a bad case of scabies; there was very little that could have been done. Is this information correct? We feel like absolute garbage for putting her down, but at the same time she's no longer suffering.
Thanks.
