Brittany A. Lancellotti, DVM, DACVD: Hi I'm Dr Brittany Lancellotti. I am a veterinary dermatologist at Veterinary Skin and Ear in Los Angeles, California.

There are lots of different medications that can be reached for when we are managing otitis externa. And some of the systemic medications that we typically use are going to be focused around the itch and inflammation that triggers the secondary infection...Each of these medications has its own benefits and risks and should be selected based on what that individual pet needs.
