    I wonder if the fungal stuff is fly eggs. Let me see if I can find a picture

    I don't know how to upload a picture! This little boy has stuff all over his skin like yellowish dots coming out the fur almost like a fungus, very skinny and has a knot under his arm

    Don't keep making new threads. Go back to the first one you made. Time is of the essence. They are fly eggs and you need to get them off before they turn into maggots!

    He seems to be a little more active but still very weak and very skinny like he is starving and dehydrated, I gave him pedialyte and he only nibble at it a little bit, and have been giving him a little diluted formula but won't really take it and he hasn't used the bathroom yet

    Yes he is a lot more active with them off but I'm very concerned about how skinny he is and this lump under his arm is huge! He is only talking a little fluids and diluted formula at a time

    There are several pictures that have fly eggs on your boy. Is that the eggs you have removed? It is very difficult to get them all off. If you have a flea comb use that. Go against the lay of his hair. Look and look, and look again. From one of the pictures, it looks like a fly egg on his right upper lid of his eye.

    Good job getting those gross clumps out
