|
A 10-year-old, intact female Yorkshire terrier was presented with right side facial swelling for 3 days and periocular swelling had progressed over the last 24 hours. On physical examination, periocular and infraorbital swelling were observed around right maxillary region. Severe ocular discharge and protrusion of the 3rd eyelid were observed. The patient was diagnosed as periapical abscess around the root of right upper first molar based on the skull radiography. Affected tooth was extracted using closed technique. Systemic corticosteroid and antibiotic were administrated and topical corticosteroid/antibiotic combination was applied to the right eye six times a day for 10 days. Ten days after tooth extraction, clinical signs were disappeared completely.
