PUMA presented with fur off the tip of his ear and scabbing. Rushed off to Dr Hong, it was initially and immediately thought to be scabies. Our (Luna & I)skin remains unscathed but we let the Dr do his scraping. It was negative. We were given a wonder salve which should cure it of fungus, infection, or parasite by 3x daily use. Luna (& I, possibly) assumed this problem is due to Prince's problem and there it should stay. Luna expressed a continued aversion to Prince but did feel Puma's pain. She stayed near him but not too near.
Puma had his ears cleaned and his feet nails clipped so he wont knock himself out scratching, should it itch. He also got a shot. The plan was to buy treats but the visit's needs, i.e. expenses, superseded any treats for the next few days. Puma has no cat insurance- currently being discussed by all political candidates. Otherwise, our pharmaceuticals would surely come tightly wrapped and tamper-proof and not just handed to us with verbal instructions. But we are greatful, none the less.
