Mr. Sofite’s skin on his head and neck is all scabbed up and he keeps scratching himself and crying when he does it, it obviously itches and hurts him. Trying to figure out if there’s something I can do to help him outside of the vet, since I’m not sure if my dad will pay for him to get seen or not.

    You can still drag them in on your clothes/feet/person, unless you’re vacuuming daily there’s a nonzero chance tbh.

    How bad are the scabs? Do you trim his claws/are these just self inflicted? Can you get him checked over by a vet? Mange/scabies isn’t fun, but ought to be treatable
