The therapy of otitis externa.
The clinical findings following the instillation of an aqueous solution containing natamycin, neomycin and hydrocortisone into the ears of dogs exhibiting the signs of otitis externa are described. Out of a total of 143 cases, 50 were also examined microbiologically both before and after treatment in order to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal properties of the solution. The severity of the complaint appeared to be of little significance as far as the respons is concerned. A favourable response was noted clinically in 95% and microbiologically in 86% of the cases treated.
