Abstract
Disorders of the ears are some of the most common presentations in first-opinion canine practice; rarely will a day go by when a practitioner doesn’t need to deal with a case of ear disease. This chapter focuses on clinical examination of the ear, aural haematoma, laceration of the pinna, foreign bodies, otitis externa and vestibular disease. Quick Reference Guides: Ear cytology; Otoscopy; Surgical treatment of aural haematoma.
