Article: Cole & Marmalade
This is a pretty lengthy article and I don't want to copy and paste the whole thing, but there is a surprise in the article. Once he could open his eyes, they found out he had heterochromia iridum. Essentially, he has the same genetic mutation my late cat Kovu had. When I saw this article it really spoke to me because it made me think of him. I am also happy that he was microchipped and even though his original owner couldn't take care of him anymore, he still found a new home.
Quote:A concerned homeowner in Royal Palm Beach, FL discovered a lone cat near his home. And the poor unfortunately soul was not in good shape. The cat was clearly suffering from mange, a skin condition caused by parasites. It effects mammals and usually causes itching, possible hair loss, scab and lesions.
Upon close inspection, they realized the mange was worse than they imagined. It was so bad it had caused the cats eyes to crust over completely!
Cotton received antibiotics, flea treatment, fluids and a full exam. And even better, he surprised everyone by purring through the entire visit! This was a great sign.
And after only a few days, the mange crust cleared from his eyes.
