It is important to understand that ear disease is only a symptom (no more specific than "pruritus").

When an animal is presented with a chief complaint of skin disease it is essential that you approach the problem in a systematic manner.

Otitis media, like otitis externa is usually secondary to some other primary factor. However otitis media may occur as a primary disease.

Bacterial pyoderma is more common in the dog than any other mammalian species.

Alopecia in the dog is a common clinical finding. It is most commonly associated with pruritus due to allergic skin disease. There are also many causes of nonpruritic alopecia.
