Abstract
A one-year-old, intact male, 24 kg, mixed breed dog was referred to the Animal Medical Center, Iksan, Chonbuk, Korea for treatment of a gunshot wound to the head. Physical examinations revealed bilateral nasal bleeding and open-mouth breathing. Radiographic examination showed fracture of the right maxilla bone and multiple fractures of the nasal bone. A 1 cm × 1 cm× 1.8 cm region of mineral opacity material was observed in the right-cranial ventralnasal cavity and a 6 mm × 6mm× 9 mm region of mineral opacity material was present in the left-cranial dorsal-nasal cavity. The surgical procedure involved removal of bone fragments and the lodged bullet as well as the installation of three intraosseous wires. At two weeks after surgery, the patient exhibited no complications and had a good prognosis.
