What is an Oro-Nasal Fistula?
An oro-nasal fistula is an abnormal opening between the oral and nasal cavities of your pet, often caused by advanced dental disease, trauma, or complications from tooth extractions. This condition can lead to chronic nasal infections, discomfort, and difficulty eating. At Heron Lakes Animal Hospital, our skilled veterinarians offer specialized surgical repair to close this opening and restore your pet’s quality of life.
