Macaroni Update:
Day 22.
For those who don’t know Macaroni came to us several months ago. She’s about the size of a 1 year old, if not smaller, but was told she is 4-5 years old. She was doing ok, but not improving like we wanted, when 22 days ago after a soak a patch of her skin just came off. After taking her into LSU, they think she was obviously malnourished and then most likely burned with a heat mat or rock and it took awhile to show up on her epidermis. Her scab is getting better but slowly. We started wrapping it last week with a Tegaderm wrap after also switching to Coloplast Wound Dressing.
In the next pics you can see the red welps, in the other burn areas, are starting to swell and most definitely will burst as well. She is eating very good and going to the bathroom so that’s a good sign. Finger crossed for Macaroni 🤞🏼💚🐍
