Abstract

A 9-year-old, female Yorkshire terrier and a 10-year-old, female Maltese were referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Konkuk University. The dogs were presented with severe swelling and cutaneous sinus tract on the left suborbital lesion. Under general anesthesia, we performed physical, intraoral examinations and survey radiography, and diagnosed as periapical abscess in a left fourth premolar tooth. They were treated with tooth extraction, and the sinus tracts were drained with 0.05% chlorhexidine solution. After teeth extractions, medication applied by the result of antibiotic sensitivity test. During follow-up 10 months later, the left suborbital swelling had completely resolved.
