Canine otitis externa is inflammation of external ear canal, causing discomfort to the patients. In presented study dogs displaying symptoms of otitis externa for a duration exceeding two months were studied. Twenty-three dogs were included based on the duration of illness. Cytological and microbiological investigations were conducted in all the cases.Animals were categorized into two groups for treatment. Group I (n=11) was given oral Marbofloxacin, while Group II (n=12) received Cefpodoxime. The therapeutic efficacy was assessed on days 7th and 14th post-treatment. Notably, Group I demonstrated rapid and effective recovery within 14 days compared to Group II.
