Outcomes of surgical treatment with patterns of bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in cases of cervical abscessation in dogs: 82 cases (2018-2021).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to summarize the presentation, diagnosis, and outcome for dogs surgically treated for chronic cervical abscessation following suspected or reported cervical or oropharyngeal trauma, as well as to report on culture results and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.

Results

Eighty-two dogs were identified by retrospective review. Successful surgical outcome was achieved in 92.7% of dogs. Abscess recurrence was confirmed or suspected in 6/82 (7.3%) cases, and surgical intervention for abscess recurrence was performed in 4/82 (4.9%) cases. Foreign material was identified at surgery in 5/82 (6%) cases. Incisional healing complications were noted in 9/82 (10.9%) cases and required additional surgery in 5/82 (6%) cases. Twenty-three (28%) d
