Antimicrobial Therapy in Pyoderma and Otitis in the Tropical Canine
.pdf (1.25 MB)
Cairns is situated in tropical north Queensland. As a coastal city and a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, for six months of the year the humidity is in excess of 70 percent and the temperature is above 28 degrees Celsius. From October to April each year otitis and dermatology features in every day practice. With the increased temperature and humidity the general health of the animal can be compromised by the rapid multiplication of bacteria and yeast. As a veterinarian who has spent most of my working life in the tropics I have found several reoccurring common problems in my patients which respond to treatment with Enrofloxacin. These are skin, respiratory and urinary tract infections.
