“…However, it is important to note that the final, osseous portion of the external ear canal is narrow. The tympanic membrane has been impossible to visualize in horses using a standard flexible video endoscope of 7 mm diameter, but may be possible to visualize in most horses using a smaller 2 mm endoscope . Indeed, the likely reason why no tympanic membrane could be visualized during otic examinations in these horses is that the endoscopes used were not small enough.…”

Background -Otitis externa is rare in horses and the condition is poorly described in the literature. Objective -To describe clinical signs, treatment regimens and prognosis of otitis externa in horses.Animals -Eight horses diagnosed with otitis externa during 2011-2018.Methods and materials -Retrospective review of medical records and follow-up contact with owners.Results -Common clinical signs seen in affected horses were pruritus, ear discharge and ear droop of affected ears. The most common cytological findings were neutrophils, bacteria and yeast. All horses responded well to treatment; two horses were reported to have recurrent problems.Conclusion and clinical importance -Otitis externa in horses is a rare and treatable condition. The condition may be present for prolonged periods before owners become aware, compromising the welfare of affected horses. Untreated otitis externa is a suggested cause of otitis media and temporohyoid osteoarthropathy, emphasizing the importance of identifying and treating this condition at an early stage. For this reason, clinicians should include a brief inspection of the pinnae and external ear canal in the clinical examination of horses.

Summary Temporohyoid osteoarthropathy (THO) is a well‐recognised clinical entity in horses. Temporohyoid osteoarthropathy is characterised by progressive osseous proliferation of the proximal portion of the stylohyoid and petrous temporal bones, and is generally described as a disease of middle‐aged horses. More recent reports also attribute a variety of clinical syndromes in young horses to THO, requiring a diversification of approaches to confirm the diagnosis and its significance, and to guide conservative and surgical treatment options. This commentary will review the purported aetiology, clinical syndromes, available diagnostic tests and treatment options of equine THO.
