Abstract
A 5-year-old intact female mixed dog was admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital for reconstructive surgery of traumatic oronasal communication in the palatal region after suffering a facial gunshot injury. The surgical procedure involved making buccal mucosal flaps as well as a transposition flap of the hard palate mucoperiosteum from the tissue adjacent to the defect, followed by applying a prosthetic appliance to protect the surgical flaps. A satisfactory outcome was obtained using a palatal prosthesis.
