Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if fluorescein sodium could help detect small oronasal fistulas (ONFs) in dogs, as visual detection is often challenging.
- Conducted on 25 dogs with confirmed periodontal issues, a fluorescent "water-passing test" was used, where saline containing fluorescein was injected, followed by examining for discharge from the nose.
- Results showed that the test effectively identified small ONFs, confirming its usefulness, as 12 out of 13 symptomatic dogs tested positive, along with 3 out of 12 asymptomatic dogs.
