That sounds very similar. Did the abscess drain out under the jaw, with the abcess going forward toward the nose? (If you happen to know these details) Our local vet is much cheaper than Davis. This horse was on intravenous antibiotics for 3 days, administered once a day, then on Ditrim, which appeared not to work, then on Methondizol (not correct name..just what I remember) which seemed to work AS LONG AS THE TRACT WAS KEPT OPEN. Do you know if that horse was on continuous flow antibiotics? Or once a day? Do you know what antibiotic the horse was released with? I will tell my vet about this.

The hole was about 5 inches long. This happened to be 2 weeks after receiving a vaccine for the equine herpes virus outbreak that came from Utah. The horse had not been exposed. Anyway, the horse was extremely sick and finally was sent by her vet to the University of CA, Davis, vet school for treatment, where it was treated with antibiotics for 10 days ($$$$). The mare was released with 2 months worth of antibiotics and eventually recovered completely.
