Max was found shortly after being hit by a car and brought to the attention of Canine Action Project who were able to get her into a clinic. Max came out of her accident with a fractured jaw at the madibul.

We are so grateful for our team of fosters who offered to help Max. One foster is able to help her start her journey of healing and a second foster home will be able to take her at the beginning of August to continue. At this time Max is on a rest, antibiotics, pain management schedule with her food served as mush. She will be going for weekly check ups for the next few weeks to ensure she is healing well.
With just over 12 hours in care her foster writes “She’s painful, I think, a bit as she kind of flexes her face and rubs the side and drools when she sleeps but sleeps all night in locked kennel no issue. She put herself in it a few times in evening when I went to check her so figured night time she will be locked otherwise she has a penned in to back door space which is perfect. When she is awake she does good wants attention and wants to just lay next to the kids outside.
Ate soaked kibble very well both meals so far (I just soak it like I would 4 week old pups)”
Update: Max had a follow up appointment today and is healing, but definitely has a fractured left jaw and needs to refrain from chewing which she is disappointed by. To help her with that she will need to wear a soft muzzle that will allow her to slurp her mushy food, drink, and pant. She is scheduled for her spay and for a more thorough x-ray of her mouth as well as removal of any teeth located along the fracture to assist with the healing process. Hopefully 3 weeks of the muzzle will see her healed up.
