LET'S BREAK DOWN COMMON QUESTIONS
? What ear drops do I use to treat this case?
? Many factors decide this answer. ? Usually not one good answer.
? Can I ever cure otitis?

? Lined by skin ? Secretions are protective ? Bacteria and yeast normal ? Epithelial migration
? TMexternal orifice

9
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Causes ? Primary ? Secondary

11

"Easy"
12
PREDISPOSING FACTORS
? Prior factors that alone do not cause otitis
? Conformation
? Moisture
? Obstructive
HFOC
? Systemic disease
? Tx effects
13
PERPETUATING FACTORS
? Altered migration ? Edema ? Proliferation ? Hidradenitis
? Calcification ? OM ? Cholesteatoma ? Osteomyelitis
Tx continued until resolution Months, Life long, Surgical solution
14
IF OTITIS IS SO COMPLEX HOW DO I TREAT CASES SUCCESSFULLY?
15
OTITIS SUCCESS
? Adept at detailing factors and causes ? Formulate a plan ? Client Education IS KEY
? Reasonable expectations ? Prognosis
16
OTHER QUESTIONS
? Did you get a cytology? ? What is the best way to take and prepare a cytology?
? I have culture results, now what? ? Is the culture accurate? Useful?
17
HOW TO BEGIN
? Complete and thorough history ? Onset ? Seasonality ? Tx-outcome, side effects ? Diets/treats ? Concurrent diseases ? Preventive tx ? Other pets/people with issues
18
DIAGNOSTICS
? Cytology ? Culture ? Biopsy ? Imaging ? Myringotomy
19
CYTOLOGY
? Roll onto slide ? Heat fixing?
21
? Staining
CYTOLOGY
23
"HOW DO YOU DO YOUR CYTOLOGIES?"
20
CYTOLOGY
? No statistically significant differences were observed in the numbers of keratinocytes, yeast, bacteria, or neutrophils among the 4 staining techniques.
? TOMA S., et al. Comparison of 4 fixation and staining methods for the cytologic evaluation of ear canals with clinical evidence of ceruminous otitis externa. Veterinary Clinical Pathology 35, 2008,194? 198.
? Other authors feel heat fixation does help fix ceruminous debris to the slide

22
READING THE SAMPLE
? Scan on 10x ? Examine areas of
interest under oil immersion ? Examine approx. 10 fields ? Average reading
24
C U LT U R I N G
25
WHEN DO I CULTURE?
? Otitis Media ? Myringotomy ? PSOM ? Flush
Caudo-Ventral
26
IS MYRINGOTOMY SAFE
? Side effects ? Horner's ? Facial nerve paralysis ? Vestibular disturbances ? Deafness
? drooping of the upper eyelid on the affected side (ptosis)
? the pupil of the eye on the affected will be constricted (miosis)
? the eye on the affected side often appears sunken (enophthalmos)
? the third eyelid of the affected side may appear red and raised (prolapse of the third eyelid, conjunctival hyperemia)
27
WHAT ORGANISMS ARE COMMON IN DOGS WITH OM?
? Pseudomonas aeruginosa ? Staphylococcus intermedius
? Streptococcus ? Proteus ? Klebsiella ? Escherichia coli ? Anaerobes
28
WHAT ORGANISMS ARE COMMON IN CATS WITH OM?
? Staphylococcus intermedius ? Otitis media ? Polyps
? Pseudomonas ? Bordetella ? Bacteroides ? Fusobacterium ? Mycoplasma
? Resistance rarely an issue in OM cases
29
I DID A CULTURE, NOW WHAT?
30
CULTURE DO'S AND DON'TS
? NEVER without cytology. ? Obtained via a sterile otoscope cone ? Indicated in cases of otitis media or interna in order to aid in the choice
of SYSTEMIC antibiotics ? OM can exist even if TM is intact
? Up to 89% diff between isolates or susceptibility patterns
31
HOW DO I SELECT THE BEST THERAPY FOR OTITIS
EXTERNA USING A CULTURE?
? I Don't use cultures to select topical therapy for otitis externa
? Reserved for otitis media ? Chose cytology for therapy and prognostic
information
32
WHY AREN'T CULTURES USEFUL?
? Reflection of serum drug levels ? MIC may not be achieved at surface of otic epithelium ? In vitro results relate poorly to choice of topical therapy ? Topical antimicrobial concentrations exceed what is
tested
33
NOW WHAT?
? If I don't need a culture to tell me what topical therapy to use, then why are my treatment recommendations not effective?
34
MANAGEMENT
Control primary diseases
35
MANAGEMENT
? Control perpetuating factors ? Deep cleaning- extremely
important
? removes bacterial toxins, cell debris, and FFA
36
IMAGING
37
MANAGEMENT
? Cleaning and drying ? Maintenance
38
39
40
MANAGEMENT
? Must include topical therapy to treat
? Infections ? Inflammation ? Debris
? Oral antibiotics for otitis externa?
? If the external canals is moderately to extensively erosive to ulcerative
? Base on a culture
41
MANAGEMENT
? EasOtic ? Tresaderm ? Synotic ? Conofite Lotion ? Osurnia ? Animax
42
OSURNIA
? Indicated for the treatment of otitis externa ? Staphylococcus pseudintermedius,
Malassezia pachydermatitis ? In hospital application ? Owner compliance
43
ANIMAX
? Nystatin, Neomycin sulfate,Thiostrepton, Triamcinolone
? Ointment indicated for wide range of fungal and bacterial organisms
? Also useful in other topical applications
44
E A S OT I C
? Hydrocortisone aceponate, Miconazole nitrate, Gentamicin sulfate
? Great applicator ? Good owner complicance
45
C O M P L I C AT I O N S
? Any topical can possibly affected hearing ? Important client education point
? May not always see TM in severe cases ? If not corrected with appropriate treatment using commercial products refer
46
47
CHOOSING AND USE OF TOPICAL DROPS
? Based on cytologic and otoscopic findings ? Twice daily therapy for minimum of 7-14 days
? Inflammation ? Edema ? Hyperplasia ? Erosion/ulceration ? Sufficient volume of topical agent ? Re-evaluation at end of therapy cycle or every 2-4 weeks ? Recheck cytology and visual otoscopy exam ? Anti-inflammatory regimen of steroids
48
OTOTOXICITY
? Unknown for most topical otic medications ? Aminoglycosides ? Chlorhexidine
? Many cleaners potentially ototoxic if TM ruptured ? Propylene glycol ? Ceruminolytics ? Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate ? Calcium sulfosuccinate ? Detergents ? Chlorhexidine ? Iodophors
? FLUSH!
