This couldn\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were multiple unanswered questions: How complicated would the surgery be? How was the nail involved with the jaw bone? How about the eye?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for Daisy, the surgery turned out to be simpler than anybody thought. I made an incision over the firm lump on her cheek. Once we found the nail head, I grabbed it with an instrument and gently pulled, and pulled, and pulled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the amazing, very short video showing removal of the nail \u2013 BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IT IS A BIT GRAPHIC AND NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bjccCGAjXXk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/bjccCGAjXXk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After surgery, we measured the nail at a whopping 3.5 inches long (9 cm). That&#8217;s more than half the width of this poor Daisy\u2019s face! She recovered smoothly from anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her treatment nurse commented: \u201cDaisy did very well after surgery. She was comfortably standing up in her run. Her vitals are normal. She can safely go home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Daisy was sent to her new home, where she will hopefully live happily ever after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her new owner shared the following observations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore surgery, she had this bizarre howl\/growl\/squeal. She now has a real bark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before, she couldn\u2019t fully open her mouth. She can now, and she\u2019s eating well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is acting like a real puppy. So happy! She is almost smiling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She acts like a NEW dog today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one knows how Daisy ended up in the woods. Nobody knows what tragic events happened prior to her discovery. And certainly, no one knows how she ended up with a giant nail in her head!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is lucky to have found such a generous soul, so willing to adopt her and care for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Phil Zeltzman, DVM, DACVS, CVJ, Fear Free <\/em>Certified<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.DrPhilZeltzman.com\">www.DrPhilZeltzman.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daisy, a 1 year pitbull, was found as a stray in the woods.
