I came online hoping I could find an answer to my feral's issue and found this post. I know the solution is taking him to the vet but I have no income. Blackie is feral - no touch is welcome. I only see him occassionaly so it is hard to keep up with him. He came up to eat Thursday and I noticed that his eye was swollen and had a discharge. I tried to wipe his eye from behind but he was having none of that. This morning he came up again and I noticed he was snorting and having to breath through his mouth. I've been feeding him for about 5 years and he has never been sick. I have been reading about L-lysine and a few other ideas but I'm not sure what to do. I am almost to the point of calling the shelter to come get him but I hate to do that plus if he goes to the shelter will he give this to the other cats. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
