Abstract:
The present study entitled “Therapeutic Study on Canine Otitis in Guwahati, Assam” was undertaken to formulate an effective therapeutic regimen against otitis. In the study, dogs with otitis were divided into 3 therapeutic trial groups consisting of 18 animals each and further each group were divided into 3 different sub-groups consisting 6 animals in each. Each group was subjected to different antibiotic and supportive treatment based on the in-vitro antibiotic sensitivity test. Response to the treatment was evaluated based on clinical improvement. It was observed that Enrofloxacin ear drop alone showed highest clinical improvement followed by Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin. Combination of Ofloxacin ear drop, systemic administration of Ceftriaxone & tazobactam and oral administration of Itraconazole brought earliest clinical recovery.
