Oronasal Fistula

Postby Howch664 » Sat Jan 12, 2013 9:46 pm

Does anyone have any experience dealing with these? My gelding and I have been battling one for 6 months. The current treatment is debriding the wound and then packing with dental impression material. Lets just say no change. The vet has said do surgery and then when I was going to agree to it they said too hard to operate on as it's about 15 cm into his jaw (upper left 2nd pre molar). Its a very iffy surgery as they want to take a muscle and try to cover the hole, but the flaps tend to wear through or fail. Just wondering if any one on this board has had to manage one of these fistulas?
