How Important Is an Ear Cleaner in the Short and Long-Term Management of Otitis Externa in Dogs?

Otitis externa is a very common condition in dogs, yet can be difficult to manage, successfully, in practice. Once the patient has been examined and a diagnosis has been established, the choice of treatment prescribed will be the key to success in treating otitis externa.

Looking Deeper Into Chronic Otitis Externa

Otitis externa (OE) in dogs is a common presentation in small animal practice, but whilst most cases of acute, early OE will respond well to symptomatic therapy, chronic or recurrent OE can present a frustrating clinical challenge.

Optimising Bovine Reproductive Efficiency: The Role of Multimin in Andrology and Embryo Transfer

For veterinarians specialising in ruminant reproduction, mitigating oxidative stress (OS) is paramount to maximising the viability of gametes and embryos. Both spermatogenesis and early embryogenesis are highly sensitive to reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content in cell membranes and the intensive metabolic activity characterising these stages.
