Abstract

A 5-month-old male neutered Schnoodle was presented to the Cornell Emergency Service with a history of traumatic maxillary fractures sustained after being bitten by another dog. Physical exam revealed pain on oral manipulation, tachypnea, and a blood-stained muzzle. Point-of­care bloodwork was unremarkable, and revealed a mild respiratory alkalosis. The patient was hospitalized over the weekend for observation and pain management until a computed tomography scan could be performed. The CT revealed substantial maxillofacial trauma; oral examination under general anesthesia, however, revealed the fractures to be stable, thus surgical intervention was not deemed necessary. This case report will discuss canine maxillofacial trauma with regards to diagnostics, options for surgical intervention, and special considerations for the pediatric patient.
