Teaching goals
- Otitis externa (OE) is defined as an acute or chronic inflammation of the external ear canal. In dogs, it is a very common alteration, being reported to represent up to 20% of all visits seen in the daily small animal clinic. In cats, otitis externa is less common, accounting for about 4% of all medical cases. Although it is often considered a diagnosis, otitis externa is just a clinical sign, almost always resulting from an underlying primary cause, almost always involving a secondary infection, and in which other predisposing and perpetuating factors also contribute to the disease. For the effective management of all cases of otitis, these factors must be identified and controlled.
- Otitis media (OM) usually occurs as an extension of otitis externa and can occur in up to 80% of cases of chronic otitis, being a frequent cause of therapeutic failure in the management of OE.
- With this class we intend to define the most appropriate therapeutic approaches taking into account the different clinical scenarios.

Teaching goals
- This brief talk on feather loss explains that not all the issues with plumage have the same cause, and that passive plumage loss is a very different thing from active feather plucking, or Feather Destructive Behavior.
- Certainly, there are common causes of the two problems, and the diagnostic process is similar, but the causes of a loss of feathers and active feather plucking can also be very different.
Teaching goals
- Single, uniform, premature ventricular complexes (VPCs) do not usually cause hemodynamic compromise and are at a low risk for electrical instability. As long as the VPCs are infrequent, and the heart rate and blood pressure remain stable, no additional treatment is necessary
- Higher grade arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia warrant immediate medical intervention.
- Accelerated idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR) is commonly seen in patients in the 24 hours following a splenectomy or surgery for gastric dilatation and volvulus. Accelerated idioventricular rhythms are identified as abnormal, wide, and bizarre beats that do not come prematurely. It is important to differentiate AIVR from ventricular tachycardia, because AIVR does not typically cause hemodynamic compromise and won’t respond to anti-arrhythmic medications. If AIVR is identified the procedure does not need to be stopped.

Teaching goals
- The ECG is used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias.
- Sinus rhythm originates in the right atrium.
- First-degree atrioventricular block is a form of atrioventricular block characterized by delayed conduction time between the atrium and ventricle.
- Second-degree AV block is a form of AV block characterized by incomplete AV node block. In second-degree AV blocks, a distinction is made between Mobitz blocks type I and II.
- Third-degree AV block is a form of AV block characterized by a complete failure of the conduction between the atrium and the ventricles of the heart.
