Overview

• Veterinarians carried out the first procedure to remove necrotic tissue on Sept. 15 after burns covered roughly 30% of Cereza’s body.
• Excélsior reported on Sept. 16 that she came through the operation, though her prognosis remains guarded.
• An emergency cesarean performed after the tanker explosion delivered five premature puppies; three have died and two remain in intensive care on incubators and specialized milk.
• Huellitas, Amor sin Fronteras says it is bearing the medical costs and has appealed for financial and in‑kind support such as specialized formula and supplies.
• The group has postponed any adoption decisions until Cereza stabilizes, as public tributes, including a mural, keep attention on her case and the broader tragedy.
