A dog’s oro-nasal fistula generally heals in 1 to 2 weeks, with the exact time depending on the severity. If the fistula is small and not infected, anti-inflammatory and topical medications usually heal it within a week.
If the condition is more serious, surgery may be considered, with about two weeks of rest at home afterward. In general, early detection and treatment of the fistula are important.
