We rehomed a tom from a shelter almost a week ago. It has taken him a while to settle in and today was the first time I was able to get close to him.
I noticed that he had mange on the skin/fur in front of his ears. It's not weeping or infected, just thin fur and black scabs.
As he hated going in the cat carrier when we collected him and as it has taken him so long to settle down I am loathe to disrupt him with a trip to the vets now that he is finally starting to relax a bit.
Does anyone know if any of the commercial mange treatments are any good? Does this need to be sorted by the vet?
Thanks!
