Caitlin is a 15-month-old pit bull found in North
Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday morning with her mouth taped shut.
The tape, which may have been there for as long as two days
before Caitlin was discovered, was so tight that it cut off circulation to the
dog's tongue. It wasn't clear at first whether she would live.
Dr. Lucy Fuller, veterinarian for the Charleston Animal
Society, which assumed Caitlin's care, said in a statement on Thursday that the
dog's condition was "critical, and her prognosis is guarded."
On Friday, Caitlin's prospects seemed better, Charleston
Animal Society spokeswoman Kay Hyman told The Huffington Post.
"She is still really swollen, but she's walking. ...
She was eating small portions of food," Hyman said. "Today, I feel
much more at ease."
