Tiff,

That's the difficulty with stray cats. You don't know their medical history so it makes it hard. I had a cat, Marina Mar, born to a feral mother, who was sick from the day she was born. We found her and her 2 siblings on a boat in a Marina. When she was 2 1/2 she was diagnosed with Pemphigus Aereolus, a suppressed immune system that killed cells that made new skin. She got very sick and I had to put her down. That's the chance we take. But the chance far outweighs anything else. I had over 2 wonderful years with my little girl and wouldn't trade it for anything. Same thing with my Bubba Dude, Casey.

You and Scout will be in my prayers. Let us know what the vet says.
