Dr. Charlier had the opportunity to work with Cyrus, a sweet tempered boxer who
was rescued by Chicago Animal Care and Control. When he was found he was
alone on the streets with his jaw mangled and bleeding. Animal Care and
Control veterinarians performed multiple surgeries
for Cyrus’ jaw. New Leash on Life, an animal
rescue group working in conjunction with ACC
presented Cyrus to Dr. Charlier. At the time, he
was still on gruel food and was unable to gain
weight. Oral examination revealed multiple
fractured teeth and malalignment of his previously
fractured jaw. After three hours of oral surgery to
remove multiple infected teeth and an infected
piece of bone, Dr. Charlier returned Cyrus to a pain
free and happy state. Although he will never have
a ‘normal’ bite, he is comfortable and functional and
now has found a new forever home!
