After the surgical treatment, the puppy named Loca got her new face mask, an Exo-K9 Exoskeleton, which was developed especially for her by biomedical design trainees at the varsity. It helped her jawbone to stay situated.

 

 

After a few days, the dog felt better and started to eat. Though she wasn’t allowed to eat chew toys, bones, etc. UC Davis School wrote in a post on their page: “Loca did incredibly well throughout her 3-day hospitalization.”
