Section: Follow-up

Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up can be critical. Follow-up for otitis externa often includes the following recommendations:

Administer prescribed medications as directed and be certain to contact your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems treating your pet.

Long term maintenance cleaning may be recommended in cases of long-standing infection. Cleaning procedure can be daily or weekly depending on the rate of wax and debris formation.

Administer any prescribed medications. NOTE: Inability to medicate your pet is a common reason for treatment failure.

Schedule regular veterinary visits to monitor your pet's condition.

Periodic ear evaluations with cytology may be recommended.

Ear cultures may be useful in long-standing infections.

Of course, the precise follow-up depends on the severity of your pet's disease, response to therapy and your veterinarian's recommendations.
