영문 초록

A 2.8kg, 10-year-old, spayed female, maltese presented to the hospital with sudden sneezing and nasal discharge symptoms. On physical examination, the discharge of secretions came out through the bi-nostrils and abundant calculus, generalized gingivitis, and movement of several teeth in dental examinations. Dental radiographs showed periapical lucencies of the right maxillary canine and left fourth premolar. After scaling and multiple extractions including right maxillary canine and left fourth premolar, the clinical symptoms totally disappeared. Then, clindamycin 11mg/kg, orally, q12h was prescribed for 14 days. After treatment, the patient's nasal disease improved. Among the causes of rhinitis in dogs, periodontitis is a common cause. If a patient with a poor dental condition shows nasal discharge accompanied by sneezing, it is necessary to consider checking for periodontitis through dental X-ray imaging or CT scan.
