Carnaissal (malar) tooth and oro-nasal fistula Part 2
Channel: Dr David Sing

Malar abscess is also known as carnaissal abscess. Root of 4th premolar tooth is decayed. Pus invaded nasal sinus which is near the skin. Pus in a seeping wound is seen. Vet 1 had prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. The dog is 15 years old and the anaethetic risk is very high.

Surprisingly 5 years ago, in 2014, from my medical records, this dog had a similar condition. I did a dental scaling and extracted premolar 1 on the same jaw. But the other teeth were solid. 

No yearly dental check up of this dog till now. Blood test to be done.
