Otitis means inflammation of the ear and causes ear problems in puppies. Otitis refers to a condition which may develop suddenly (acute), or be ongoing (chronic).
Chronic otitis media is a recurrent infection of the middle ear and/or mastoid air cell tract in the presence of a tympanic membrane perforation. Symptoms commonly associated with chronic ear disease include hearing loss, otorrhea, aural fullness, otalgia, and occasionally true vertigo. Cholesteatoma, a keratinized mass in the middle ear or mastoid, may occur either as a primary lesion or secondary to tympanic membrane perforation.
