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 killed.
