17:30 - 18:25 A rational approach to otitis externa in the dog - Sue Paterson
Otitis externa can often be a daunting disease for primary care veterinary surgeons. This lecture will out line a simple and logical way in which to investigate and treat cases of otitis. Primary inciting factors for otitis, secondary infection and perpetuating and predisposing factors will be discussed in detail.
18:30 - 19:25 Otitis externa in the cat - Sue Paterson
Otitis externa in the cat is a rare condition. Although Otodectes cynotis is the most common trigger for otitis externa other conditions can affect the feline ear.

This lecture will outline a logical approach to feline ear disease and discuss these primary causes.

14:00 - 14:55 Ear cleaning- what to use and how to use it - Sue Paterson
Ear cleaning is essential to manage any case of otitis externa. The discharge and condition of the ear canal can be very different in different infections and disease processes. The criteria that should be considered when selecting an ear cleaner include the type of discharge whether it is ceruminous or muco-purulent; the state of the canal whether it is or is not ulcerated and the presence or absence of the tymnpanic membrane. This lecture will discuss the different components of different ear cleaning solutions and which are suitable for particular conditions.
15:00 - 15:55 Managing chronic otitis externa - Sue Paterson
Chronic change in the ear canal of a dog will act to perpetuate disease. The presence of hyperplastic change or ceruminous gland hyperplasia will lead to changes within the canal and an increased tendency to disease recurrence. This lecture will discuss assessment of chronic change to assess if damage is reversible or irreversible needing surgery and discuss the ways in which topical and systemic therapy can be used to improve the quality of the canal.
17:00 - 17:55 Otitis media: more than the dermatological point of view - Laura Ordeix I Esteve
Otitis Media is a common condition that is frequently uderdiagnosed. It is present in almost 80% of the dogs with chronic and/or recurrent otitis externa. Therefore, it should be investigated proactively trough an adequate diagnostic and therapeutic The most important causes for the development of otitis media in dogs and cats as well as the diagnostic approach and the basis for the medical treatment of this disease are described in this presentation
18:00 - 18:25 How I treat...Pseudomonas otitis etxerna +/- media - Laura Ordeix I Esteve
Otitis externa and/or media caused by Pseudomonas is one of the most important therapeutic that we face in the practice of otology in dogs. While there is limited therapeutic evidence-based information, this presentation will include scientific information on the treatment of this condition. Conditions that hinder the medical treatment, such as the problem of antibiotic resistance, will be discussed.
