The easy way is to do nothing (no) or surrender him to the kill shelter (no). Letting this continue means I stay on the ringworm hamster wheel and that is breaking me.

There’s no easy answer so I’m asking this lady if I can get some oral treatment for him or if I should surrender him to this rescue (which will skip the pound and take him to foster).

    the easy answer is do what you need to/want to in the easiest way possible and don't fret

    ringworm in humans is not such a difficult thing and it's not dangerous, just paint liquid daktarin a few times and it's gone, so don't fret, you'll be ok

    I can’t help it. My brain has gone out of control in the worst way. And my immune system is really weak so it may not be able to beat it.

    I put up a few posters near the spot. The lady is going to call me about getting him some tablets. I still have no idea what to do about him (and he’s started trying to kill the magpies)
