My initial reaction was that I couldn't help, because I have no experience with burns. And then, in a very "Celestine Prophecy" moment, I remembered that our future neighbor Mark, who is an ER veterinarian, had arrived the day before on a five week vacation...

Katira (named after the town) had burns on her face, scalp, tail, stomach, and one hand. The pain in her eyes and sad noises she made were heart-breaking, and she couldn't open her mouth wider than the tip of an eyedropper...Mark believed there were adhesions from the burns, and that she might even have lost her tongue.
We know the odds are against us all...
