280. No ear drum... what can I use?
It is really difficult to know what topical treatment options to consider when dealing with a ruptured tympanum. When a difficult multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas otitis occurs, it is very common to have the tympanum ruptured. So, what do you do? Being cautious and upfront with owners about labeling is important. However, bad infections are also ototoxic and it is important we treat them appropriately.On this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast, I discuss things to consider when dealing with a ruptured TM, what to do if you do experience a case with ototoxicity, and considering the risks/benefits of selecting treatment for difficult otitis cases.00:00 Intro00:25 Treating ear infection02:23 Ear Exams04:36 Most commonly reported to be ototoxic09:15 Dogs with ear infections going on for a long time10:28 Risk vs Benefit11:20 Summary/Outro

279. And then what...? How to adjust to long-term management of allergies
When a patient is going through an allergic flare, we focus on making the pet comfortable which is absolutely reasonable! However, we have to think of the prevention of future flares and frustration for that case. It is important for us to adjust our mindset once relief has been established and think of the long-term plan for that pet. Each plan can be unique depending on the case presentation, client's goals, etc. Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast where I discuss shifting to this mindset with ease including a recent cat case I had to go through a treatment adjustment.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro02:21 A common scenario that I see at the clinic06:43 Laying the foundation down for the pet to succeed11:16 Cat case with really bad pyoderma13:12 Considering allergy testing15:01 Outro
