A unique surgery was performed in Dnipro to repair the jaw of a military dog following a Russian missile strike

In Dnipro, doctors performed a complex and unique surgery to reconstruct the jaw of a combat dog belonging to the Ukrainian National Guard, which had suffered severe injuries during enemy shelling. 

The four-legged defender was injured as a result of a direct hit by a Russian missile on a military facility. 

Thanks to the professionalism of Ukrainian specialists, the animal was able to return to a full life.

This National Guard dog, named Ralph, miraculously survived the rocket attack on the training ground alongside his handler. The blast wave and debris from the Russian rocket caused significant damage to the animal’s skull bones. 

The injury was critical, so local specialists immediately began preparing for a complex surgical procedure.

Veterinarians in Dnipro used cutting-edge medical technology to restore the animal’s ability to eat and chew normally. 

The city’s best surgeons, who already have extensive experience treating animals wounded in war, were brought in for the operation.
