I have sort of adopted a stray cat. It took me almost 4 yrs to get him to trust me. I'm very sure that he has been abused and abandoned. It's been a little over 5 yrs now. The other night he came in with a lesion between his shoulder blades and next night one on his side. The lesions look like they have puncture marks but not sure. Also the lesions are oozing a dark pinkish fluid. When I tried to wash the fluid out of his fur the fur came out in small hunks. Also he has lost quite a bit of weight. He is obviously not feeling his old self. As he's somewhat feral it takes very little to put him in a panic. I've called all the vets in my area but cannot get an appt. for at least 2 weeks.I did remove a tick off him but it was nowhere near the lesions. Is there something I can do {have washed and applied Polysporin as much as he will let me} to help him. I'm very afraid that he will not last long enough to see a vet around here. He's a sweet little soul and doesn't deserve this. Please. Can you help.
