I had a chat to the lady at the shelter today. Basically if it's ringworm then they wont be able to help me, as the last thing they need is a containgous infection knowingly being brought into the shelter. (The isolation rooms are full at the moment).

I have got the trap ready to try catch her tomorrow morning (if I catch her now it's too late to do anything until tomorrow and I wont bring her inside in case she infects Ally). The plan is to trap her so we can get close enough to examine the sores, and then decide what the next move is.

I also sadly found out that one of the other ferals I had been feeding was caught by someone else (she lives 4 houses away and is a volunteer at the shelter - but we had never met before today). Anyway the poor thing had to be put down - he had been treated before for an eye infection, and eventually lost one eye. By last week (when I got back from an overseas trip) he was no-where to be seen, and my hubby didnt remember seeing him. Today I found out that he had been in a couple of nasty fights, and had infected lesions and bites - he was so week, and only having one eye wasnt helping much either - he couldnt defend himself properly, so they had to put him to sleep.

At least he is playing at the Rainbow Bridge, and wont have any more pain or fighting
