Well we picked up
Chance yesterday from the Shelter all I can say is I knew he was bad with full body ringworm but he is
really bad. I have a pretty strong stomach and I am pretty tough ( I raised 2 boys) but when I saw
Chance's ears I lost it.
His ears are crusted completely shut with what feels like cement. Completely unacceptable! He looks like the elephant man with all the crusty bumps, scales etc. He absolutely stinks with a yeasty smell this poor baby.
The first night I greased him down from head to toe with virgin coconut oil. This morning he looked a little better with hunks of skin dropping off. The inside of his ears soften up but still shut.
Then I talked with my sister who worked for a prominent dermatologist here in Silicon Valley and she advised me to grease him up with Crisco- that is what I said? say what?
well I did that today greased him from head to toe and wrapped him in saran wrap ( that was a challenge) and put him in a baby long nightie that I got at the salvation army to keep him warm. So will see how he has improved by tomorrow....I love this little guy already what a trooper!
