Dog with Persistent Suborbital Abscess

This dog was treated with antibiotics only to have the abscess recur over the weeks prior to presentation.  The tooth and gum tissue looks fairly normal.  The x-ray shows a decrease in the periapical bone density on the fourth premolar.  The right first molar has an obvious periapical lucency on the palatal root.  Those two teeth and the second molar were extracted.
