i had to put my cat Ned down yesterday and i think this is genuinely the worst feeling i've felt in my whole life he was so sick and i feel so terrible for my poor kitty i hope he wasn't suffering too much
@Slushea@adachireikanmi@Rozzzwellian itself and the longer it goes untreated, obviously the more it spreads. as it spreads, it tends to overlap and i guess it looked like the "worm" was growing, solidifying the original theory
@Slushea@adachireikanmi@Rozzzwellian since medical information wasn't really around back when it was first discovered people just thought there was a parasitic worm in their skin, which makes sense because it looks really wormy. treatment wasn't really available back then either so it was mostly left to resolve itse
