Please help see attached photo. Sorry it's hard to take a picture with a wiggle worm
This baby has mites. You will need to get hold of either some revolution or Ivermectin.
Revolution is Rx, maybe you know a vet that will give you some or maybe a friend that
has some Revolution they treat their cat or dog with.
It can be ordered on line without script from Joe's Pet Meds but delivery is out of the
UK or Australia and takes some time. This baby needs treatment as soon as possible.
If you can't acquire any Revolution I'd suggest seeking the Ivermectin. We can explain
how to dose. Usually it can be found in farm feed/supply stores such as Southern States,
Tractor supply, etc.
