ABOUT THE TOPIC:
Treatment of secondary infections in the ear help manage short- term disease. However, persistent inflammation and recurring infections lead to chronic changes in the ear canal which make these flares more difficult to control over time. This will eventually lead to irreversible changes in the ear canal which may require surgical intervention. In order to avoid this scenario, we need to change our approach to the ithcy ear. This talk will highlight the recommendations from a recent review article, in order to guide our clinical decisions when managing otitis externa in dogs.
