title: Endoscopically placed tubes for administration of enilconazole for treatment of nasal aspergillosis in dogs.
abstract: An endoscopic method for administering commercial-grade enilconazole for treatment of nasal aspergillosis in dogs is described. Six dogs with confirmed nasal aspergillosis were anesthetized and feeding tubes were placed endoscopically into caudal sinuses. Commercial-grade enilconazole was infused into turbinates and sinuses for a total dwell time of 45 to 60 minutes. Dogs did not have recurrence of disease at final rhinoscopic examination and were markedly improved a mean of 13.3 months after treatment.
