Animals Spirit of LOVE: Bianka

Bianka’s nose bone has been broken and displaced. The left jaw is broken on several points, and there is a possibility that the facial nerve has been affected.
Her palate shows several points of fracture, so is her cheek, also displaced.
The delicate joint that allows the jaw to move is also destroyed.

In the words of Manuel Pinilla, European Specialist in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging, the severity of the traumatism is exceptional, this is one of the most complicated set of fractures he has seen on one single dog.
What makes the case even more horrific is that Bianka’s injuries took place in two “sessions”. The state of some of the fractures indicated that they took place at least a week ago.

It’s extremely rare for a dog like Bianka to be found alive and to be given a chance to survive. In a long conversation with her surgeon, one of the most recognized and respected traumatologists in the country he went to great lengths to explain the difficulty of the case. The severity and extent of the injuries will require two, possibly three operations, and there is a possibility that her jaw will never work properly, developing what is called as ATRESIA, where the jaw would be locked in place and it wouldn’t be able to move, hence rendering feeding impossible. It would likely be the end…

Right now, Bianka has a 50% chance of survival. Her entire life is at stake, and we are going to put every single means necessary to give her the chance.
Bianka is right now being prepared for the surgery. The veterinary team is trying to reduce the infection in the area, that would complicate her recovery. Surgery may happen immediately, if not then tomorrow or the day after, depending on the evolution of the injuries.

This is the time to save Bianka’s life. This is the time for everyone to rally around this little puppy that has already gone through so much. It’s time to show her, that not everyone is bad, and that whilst one soulless piece of scum did his best to kill her just for fun, hundreds of kind souls around the world are going to do everything they can to give her a second chance.

Every case is important, but some of them seem even more unfair than others. Bianka is just a three month old puppy. Her life has just started and it could end unless we do something.

Update February 13…
Bianka has gone through her first operation. The procedure was extremely long, lasted over 3 hours and the surgeon had to work with extreme care. Her bones are tiny, not fully formed and extremely damaged.
Both sides of the jaw have been fixed and for the first time since her brutal attack she can now move her mouth.
We are looking at the evolution during today and tomorrow and well then decide whether to use a special contraption to inmobilise her jaw and aid healing.
She is in great mood, typical discomfort after an operation and the added stress of having to be fed through a tube going directly to her esophagus but this should be temporary.
Even if these are all positive developments she remains in a grave condition…
