🐾🐾We have an update about Winnie from her family! Below is the post from her family. She is doing well and in good spirits. What a good girl-- keep sending those healing vibes her way!!🐾
Hey everyone, sorry for the long time between updates. Winnie had her first post OP appointment today; great news, everything is healing the way they want. She'll stay on soft food for 8 weeks and no toys for another two. Her next appointment is in 7 weeks, where she will have her last surgery, hopefully. This is to remove teeth. Unfortunately, the damage was bad enough that her upper teeth never developed correctly. They will most likely remove 5 of them.
The medical staff at NC State have been the best. Her whole medical team came to see her, and it was amazing to see how much they truly care about the animals and owners.
To everyone who donated or just said they were praying for her, thank you so very much; it meant everything to our family that so many took time out of their busy lives to show genuine love!
As for the other dog owners, we have officially pressed charges. We will do everything we can to hold them accountable for not being responsible owners of a very aggressive dog. We do not hold any animosity toward either dog. NC has a one-bite rule; both dogs are on the state's dangerous animal list.
I have added pictures of her progress and photos from our neighbor's security system.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach out. I will also do my best to post updates on her progress.
