Win An Apple Watch By Completing Otitis Externa Survey
An industry survey is calling on vets to help shape the future of canine otitis externa (OE) treatment.
The survey aims to gather the opinions of vets with regards to managing OE to gain a clearer understanding of the problems they face in practice when it comes to treating the condition.
Ear infections are among the top 10 reasons dogs are presented to vets[1], but studies have shown owner compliance can be a problem with up to 80% of owners administering the incorrect dose.[2]
A separate survey is also being launched to better understand the issues dog owners face when administering treatment at home.
Reports of both surveys will be available after the results have been compiled. Those who enter the veterinary survey will be entered into a prize draw to be in with a chance of winning an Apple Watch.
The survey closes on 29th February 2016.
