Otitis Externa - Management Strategies for Long-Term Resolutions

Otitis externa is one of the most commonly encountered presentations in clinical practice. It can also be one of the most frustrating, with large numbers of patients developing recurrent or chronic disease. Multiple client surveys have highlighted the fact that frustration with management of chronic otitis is one of the most common reasons for clients switching veterinary practices. In this webinar we’ll look at how otitis develops in our patients, and gain an understanding of the underlying factors involved. Understanding the pathogenesis of otitis is the most important aspect of successful long-term management of the disease. Armed with this information, we’ll go on to look at specific treatments and preventative measures and the pros and cons of various approaches. We’ll also spend some time discussing the treatment of multi-resistant Pseudomonas otitis, a notoriously difficult infection to get on top of. Finally, we’ll discuss the various surgical options that may be used in the management of otitis, bearing in mind that in all but a few cases, successful medical management is always our preferred option.
