Teaching goals

• One of the most frequent veterinary consult complaints is otitis externa (OE). Approximately 20% of all canine patients have some type of ear disease.
• Otitis externa occurs as a consequence of a multitude of causes and factors. Primary causes result in ear canal inflammation, predisposing factors increase the risk for the development of otitis, and perpetuating factors delay a clinical cure. The control of these factors is the key to avoid chronicity and recurrence of otitis externa.
• The purpose of this lecture is, therefore, to summarize the various factors and causes associated with canine otitis externa development.
