Hi all, wanted to give an update on Miss Myrtle and her list of ailments
and also address a heart condition. She is still really itchy although
has had some hair growth and her face looks "brighter". We have been
bathing her every other day and slathering her with coconut oil-wasn't
really helping much. Just switched to Bag Balm and it seems to help for
short term relief thankfully. She has gained a little weight, but
still really thin-we have to be careful what we feed her due the the
yeast-yeast feeds off of sugars. She also has what is called Pulmonic
Stenosis-meaning one valve in her heart didn't form properly and isn't
opening all the way-it has caused her right ventricle to enlarge to 3
times it's normal size-they can do surgery, but want to wait until her
skin issues and associate anemia are cleared up as is not urgent. This
little girl has a long road ahead of her before she is healthy and can
be adopted
. Having said all that, she is as sweet as pie, loves to snuggle and
is so tolerant of all the baths and lotion applications that I put her
through-I can't wait to see her healthy and feeling better!
