Article Synopsis
- Canine otitis externa is a common issue in dogs that negatively impacts their quality of life, and this study aimed to identify factors that could reduce its occurrence.
- The research found that Rhodesian Ridgebacks and dogs without underlying infectious diseases had a lower risk of developing otitis externa, while Retrievers and dogs with allergies faced a higher risk.
- Additionally, normal-weight dogs with endocrinopathies were less likely to develop otitis compared to those that were overweight, suggesting that maintaining a healthy weight could help reduce the prevalence of this condition.
