Otitis externa in dogs is a very common clinical problem encountered in general practice; it is also a very frustrating one to treat, especially when cases are recurrent. Many organisms can be implicated in cases of otitis, including Gram‐positive cocci, Gram‐negative rods, such as Pseudomonas , and the yeast Malassezia pachydermatis . This article will focus on the investigation and treatment of cases of Pseudomonas otitis.
