title: Unsuccessful surgical repair of a short soft palate in a dog.
abstract: An 8-week-old male Miniature Schnauzer had nasal discharge of milk, food, and water since birth, especially during eating. Examination of the oral cavity revealed a short soft palate. Numerous unsuccessful surgical procedures were performed to construct a shelf of tissue to prevent oronasal reflux. The dog was euthanatized.
