2. Several of the ferals we feed daily have big flea allergy issues.

One is tame enough we can easily dose him with the behind the neck type of medicine, so he's good. The other one is super feral, won't let us touch him or get too close. Hubs got a treatment on him, but since then he is super wary and won't let either of us within a couple of feet of him. Both cats had significant hair loss and sores and are now improving, growing back hair and no sores. I do worry about how we will get a 2nd dose on Fluff, but hopefully he'll calm down in a few weeks.

Have they forgiven you yet? niyad Jul 2023 #4

I think they had a meeting and Madoc reminded everyone to remember who feeds them. Siwsan Jul 2023 #5

Madoc is very wise. I hope things are much calmer, and more loving, today. niyad Jul 2023 #6
