A 3-month-old Schnauzer was presented with congenital defects of the secondary palate. On the clinical examination, coughing, sneezing, drainage of nasal discharge from the external nares and poor growth were found. Vital signs and results of blood examination were within normal ranges. Thoracic radiography revealed mild pneumonia in the right lung lobes. In a puppy suffering from cleft palates, a palatal prosthesis was applied to the hard palate in order to protect the surgical wound, because a routine surgery was not successful. A palatal prosthesis was applied and held in place using the instant glue and plastic bands to protect the surgical wound following the third repeated surgery. Although a small oronasal fistula still remained, there was no functional defect. This prosthesis was easy to apply and helpful to protect the surgical wound. In addition, this implant could be placed or adjusted without or sedation/anesthesia.
一只3个月大的雪纳瑞犬因先天性腭裂前来就诊。临床检查发现有咳嗽、打喷嚏、从鼻孔流出鼻分泌物以及生长发育不良的症状。生命体征和血液检查结果均在正常范围内。胸部X线检查显示右肺叶有轻度肺炎。在一只患有腭裂的幼犬中，由于常规手术未成功，为保护手术伤口，在硬腭上应用了腭托。在第三次重复手术后，使用速干胶和塑料带应用并固定腭托以保护手术伤口。尽管仍存在一个小的口鼻瘘，但没有功能缺陷。这种腭托易于应用且有助于保护手术伤口。此外，放置或调整这种植入物时无需镇静/麻醉。
