250 year old live oak tree problem

Name: Rebekah  City:

Question: Some mice made a nest in our live oak tree. My husband cleaned them out; but now, there is a gaping hole where the bark and some of the tree is missing near the base (about 2'h x 1'w). Is there some way to repair this or fill it in?
