LATEST UPDATE
We have spoken to all of the doctors in California that have worked or are going to work with the dogs on the links below. The article on Kabang, we have discovered after talking to the surgeons, is not accurate. The only surgery they are going to be able to do is repair as much of the sinus area based on what is left and do some small reconstruction. The dog where bone was re-grown can only be done on a long bone such as a mandible, radius or femur. It cannot and should not be done where the sinus cavity is involved because it would grow and close up the sinuses completely. We will be doing more reconstructive surgery on Henry in the next two weeks, once the last surgery has healed. We have now exhausted all possibilities of ever being able to replace the upper jaw that is missing or re-growing bone. We knew they were both long shots but we wanted to make sure he wasn't a candidate before we started the next phase. Henry is as happy as can be, just the way he is. The surgery we will be doing is to restore more of his sinus area.
