I have around 8 ferals living around my home. One has been here about 10 years and maybe once or twice a year I can touch her while she is eating. She has gotten very thin although had to tell as she is long haired but when I pet her her back is one huge mat but under that is skin and bone. I'd like to have it shaved and an exam but am afraid she will be so stressed it would kill her. She has that skinny, skeletal look they get before they die. She is eating ok but has some black discharge around her nose. I am conflicted as to what is best for her. Thanks for any advice.
