Ear today; how can we avoid it being gone tomorrow?

What is your reaction when you see ‘sore ear’ on the diary at work? Is it “Yeah, another ear’ or ‘Argh, not another ear’? Ear disease is a frequent cause of vet visits with between 8.7-20% prevalence. Otitis is unfortunately incredibly common and significantly impact patient and owner quality of life. Within this webinar, we revisit the multiple factors that play a role in development of otitis, how to identify and manage them. We also delve into some of the other causes of otitis with practical tips on investigations and treatment in general practice. Finally, we discuss when to refer and some of the considerations to take on board to try to prevent a trip to surgery.
