Dakota

20 yr old Tennessee Walker Gelding

In Rehabilitation
Dakota was surrendered to the rescue in February 2023. He arrived underweight and with a serious infection, although the drainage that we thought was due to a probable sinus condition was caused in part by an oronasal fistula, or hole between his oral cavity and his nasal passage, that was a result of an abscessed tooth that ate away at his jawbone. Dakota went to the NC State Veterinary Hospital for a CT scan and a surgery to clean out his sinuses and pack the fistula/hole to temporarily seal it. Dakota has been recovering well from his procedure, and we are eager to have him back at the farm!
