Tanya who’s charming and demure
Suddenly
Tanya starts whimpering
and starts scratching her face ruthlessly
Writhes in pain
and doesn’t know what to do..
1 year ago, she started scratching her face
and that has gotten more severe recently
Guardian: She scratched herself again this morning around 7:30AM
She's done it in the middle of sleeping around 3 or 4AM once..
Tanya scratches her face recklessly
PD: She doesn’t know what to do
Papa guardian: Yeah, she doesn’t
Papa guardian: As she scratches by her paws, she gets scratched on her face from her claws
It was pretty bad, she scratched until her face skin was scraped off
We put ointment on her so it’s gotten a lot better
As she started scratching her face until it bleeds
Guardians visited three different hospitals
Guardian: They said she has atopy symptoms
This is the prescription for atopy dermatitis
The vets said that it's simply a symptom of atopy dermatitis
Guardians bought supplements and moisturizers for atopy
They even changed her diet countless times
Mama guardian: I used to feed her this
Then, I changed to this
then, I changed it again to this...
The couple says they tried everything for Tanya...
Guardian: They said that it could be due to stress so..
Perhaps stress is the cause
Tanya: Yay, strolls teehee
The guardians have been taking Tanya on strolls three times a day
But it doesn’t seem like she's getting any better..
Papa guardian: Tanya’s our eldest and only daughter
I don’t wish for anything else, I just wanna know the cause and hope it could be treated
With hope, we visited a general hospital again
Alongside a detailed examination
Conducts an MRI as well
(Serious..)
Han Jae-Woong l N Animal Medical Center, Nowon : Fortunately, there’s nothing found in her MRI
So that’s fortunate but frustrating
Normally, seizure and stuff worsens with stress
It becomes more severe under stress
I wonder if she'll act the same when put on a cone?
We need to check this for at least 48 hours
Puts on a neck cone for 48 hours so we can observe if there is a change in her behaviour
After 48 hours have passed..
Papa guardian: (While she had the cone on) didn’t show those behaviors
PD: Not even once? Papa guardian: Nope, not even once
That’s why it’s confusing for me, too
The reason why Tanya scratched her face for a year is..
