Dr. Henri Bianucci performed the surgery on the 15-month-old Staffie mix which took about two hours.
CAS officials say Banucci repaired Caitlyn's cheek and lips; originally the surgery called for work on Caitlyn's tongue, but doctors said it was not needed since the tongue was in better shape than they thought.
"Her tongue had sloughed a small area of dead tissue," Bianucci said in a statement. "The shape was roughly that of a maple leaf. It was really amazing. The combination of [hyperbaric oxygen therapy] and cold laser therapy reduced the tissue loss from the tongue to an absolute minimum."

Lol! Thought from the headline this was another Bruce Jenner story.
Glad this Caitlyn is doing well.
Isn't Caitlyn a popular name involving surgery.
This is a Caitlyn I care about. Get well little friend.
Both are dogs
12:02 - this one has a better personality - and brain!
I certainly hope this idiot who did this gets the harshest punishment known for animal abuse. Nothing or no one should have to suffer like this poor dog did. If he would treat an animal like that he would also treat a human the same way or worse.
My dog Rex finally broke down and told me he wants to be a cat. Rex says he wants to be called Mittens now. We're transitioning him to Fancy Feast and a litter box. Thank you for your prayers during this challenging time.
I sincerely hope the bastard(s) that did this to this beautiful puppy rot in hell eternally!
There are so many sick bastards out there that cause untold torture and damage to defenseless animals. If you don't want a pet, don't get one, or take your unwanted pet to a shelter.
This doctor deserves a great deal of thanks for taking such good care of Caitlyn.
All dogs rock!
I pray she goes to a good home. She deserves to lead the life of Raleigh from now on.
