Medical Subsidy For A Cat With Mange (Shaila Raj�s)

Shaila Raj wrote to me a few days regarding a stray cat with mange. Since this was Shaila’s first case of dealing with a mangy cat, she was quite disturbed by all the scratching and bleeding and wanted to board the cat at the vet’s. I explained that our policies will not cover any subsidy for boarding for such a case unless the boarding is justified necessary by the vet.

I also shared with Shaila a few of our mange cases, the worst being that of Zhou2, who recovered beautifully in just 4 weeks under the care of Julie Pek (Zhou2 only needed weekly injections of Ivermectin), and subsequently, Zhou2 got adopted by Mimi and is now living a wonderful life.

I also explained the downside of unwarranted boarding. The cat is from the street and hence, unvaccinated. It could easily catch contagious diseases if sick cats come to the clinic.

So, Shaila decided to look after the mangy cat herself.

Here’s from Shaila:
