Abstract | BACKGROUND: Given the increase in antimicrobial drug resistance of several pathogens that affect the ear, there is a need for alternative therapy for canine otitis externa (OE). We hypothesised that the efficacy of modified Burow's solution would be non-inferior to that of standard treatment with Surolan. METHODS: RESULTS: The 10-day OE cure rate was 65% and 59% in the Burow's and Surolan groups, respectively. The modified Burow's solution was non-inferior to Surolan at a non-inferiority margin of -11.5% and was more clinically effective than Surolan in dogs with OE caused by yeast or bacteria. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrate that modified Burow's solution is an effective treatment for OE in dogs.
