Abstract

According to statistical data, 10-20 % of dogs and cats get an appointment with a veterinarian because of otitis externa - inflammation of the skin of the external auditory canal. The large role in the development of the inflammatory process in the auditory canal belongs to the epidermal staphylococcus, which often complicates the course of otitis caused by the parasitic ear
mite Otodectes cynotis. The high sensitivity of epidermal staphylococcus to ampicillin, cefazolin and levomycetin allows us to recommend these antibiotics as a means of local treatment along with acaricides and antihistamines in the complex therapy of otodectosis of small domestic animals.
