Miraculous Recovery: Bulldog Puppy Spontaneously Regrows Jaw After Cancer Surgery

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Newsweek

A 3-month-old French bulldog named Tyson underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his jaw, resulting in the majority of his jaw being removed. Miraculously, the puppy's jaw regrew, marking the first documented case of such regeneration in a dog. Veterinarians at Cornell University suspect that preserving a large amount of membrane containing blood vessels and nerves during the surgery may have contributed to the regrowth. Tyson is now living a normal life, demonstrating the possibility of complete bone regeneration in young patients.

"Remarkable Recovery: French Bulldog Puppy Spontaneously Regrows Jaw"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

A 3-month-old French bulldog named Tyson had a portion of his lower left mandible removed due to cancer, but his jaw spontaneously regrew, marking the first reported case of its kind for dogs. The regrowth was attributed to the preservation of a significant amount of periosteum during surgery, containing blood vessels and nerves crucial for bone growth. Tyson's new mandible is nearly as functional as the original, and he has since undergone successful cleft palate surgery, leading a full and active life. This case demonstrates the possibility of complete bone regeneration in young dogs with similar diagnoses.
