Gaby Ramírez Hospitalized After California Dog Attack, With Breed and Treatment Details Disputed

She remains under care in Los Angeles with corrective surgery planned.

Overview

  • Emergency responders transported the TV presenter by ambulance, and doctors administered morphine, performed imaging, and kept the wound open for cleaning and evaluation.
  • Ramírez described severe injuries to her leg and foot, saying the dog tore off a piece of flesh, and later appeared on crutches outside the emergency area.
  • Accounts differ on the animal involved, with reports variously identifying a French bulldog, a pitbull, or an American Bully, and the attack was described as occurring at an auto workshop.
  • Coverage also conflicts on rabies precautions, as early posts referenced a planned rabies shot while later reports note she received a tetanus vaccine and was told rabies cases are exceedingly rare in California.
  • She has urged dog owners to use muzzles, is preparing for rehabilitation and an aesthetic procedure, and says she intends to file a police report with legal counsel.
