The aim of the course is to provide participants with the necessary knowledge for correct management of ear inflammations in dogs and cats. The training consists of a theoretical part and a practical part.
Theoretical classes cover ear anatomy and physiology, diagnosis of acute and chronic otitis, interpretation of cytology and antibiogram results, principles of video-otoscopy and discussion of interactive clinical cases concerning management of external and middle ear inflammation.
Practical exercises will last a full day: realistic models of dog ears (pinna, ear canal, tympanic membrane) will allow learning techniques for flushing the ear canal and tympanic bulla, myringotomy, removal of polyps and foreign bodies, etc. Participants will be divided into groups and will work under the supervision of the lecturers.
