Abstract
Ear disease is a common condition in dogs and cats, and otoscopy should be performed on every case. Video-otoscopy is an incredible tool for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ear disease. It may serve as a form of positive reinforcement, because the client can readily see progress made with treatment. This article focuses on the proper use of video-otoscopy for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ear diseases in dogs and cats. Proper anatomy, equipment, and diagnostic understanding are required to minimize the risk of recurrent or chronic otitis, which is a source of discomfort for the patient and frustration for the owner and the clinician.
