Horrific update on the case of a young Perth woman being torn apart by her own Rottweilers as she suffers another devastating blow
A young woman fighting for life after being mauled by her pet Rottweilers has now been struck by bacterial infections due to a bite.
Nikita Piil, 31, suffered serious injuries to her arms and legs after she was viciously attacked by her dogs Harlem, four, and Bronx, seven, at her Success home in Perth on September 16.
Ms Piil remains in hospital and has undergone five emergency operations, lasting a total of 13 hours, as doctors desperately try to save her arm.
Her family revealed on Thursday that the 31-year-old has now suffered another blow.
“Unfortunately, she did not brush her dog’s teeth that morning, so the bacterial infections in dogs are manifesting and causing ongoing serious complications,” they wrote in a post. GoFundMe for Mrs Piil’s medical costs.

‘The coming rehabilitation process will be painful, long and expensive.
“We almost lost our precious girl a few times… but as you all know, Nikita is our little fighter.”
Ms. Piil’s sister Natasha previously said her siblings loved her dogs and that Harlem and Bronx loved her too.
“Unfortunately, she was caught in the crossfire while calming her dogs due to an incident nearby. There is more to this story than what the media has been telling,” she said.
On the day of the attack, police arrived at least ten minutes after neighbors first heard Ms. Piil’s screams.

Police had to shoot Bronx after failed attempts to taser the dog, which was later euthanized by a veterinarian.
Harlem is in the pound and will not be euthanized unless Ms. Piil says so, the city council said.
Ms Piil remains in a serious but stable condition after major blood loss.
It remains unclear what prompted the dogs to attack their owner.
