Notas: External otitis is one of the most common diseases in the veterinary clinic for small animals, with the highest incidence in dogs than in cats. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the primary and secondary factors, so as the predisposing and perpetuating factors involved in the pathogenesis of external otitis of the dog. The study was performed on clinical cases of otitis treated at the Dermatology Service of the Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Zaragoza. In the study period, 162 dogs were treated of which 40 had otitis and they have been included in this study. The information for each clinical case was collected on a technical file which was made expressly for the study. The data related to the characteristics of otitis, review and examination of the patient were included in it. The study of the obtained data has given the following results. Regarding the breed factor, the highest incidence occurs in Cockers (20%), mongrels (15%) and French Bulldogs (12,5%). Referring to the predisposing factors, the most important is the conformation of the outer ear pinna detected in 12,5% of cases. Regarding the primary factors, the three most important have been: atopy (70%), parasites (50%) and food hypersensitivity (35%). Secondary factors were analyzed by cytological exams: cocos were the agents most frequently observed, presented in 22,5% of dogs with otitis. Finally the most representative perpetuating factors have been: chronic pathological changes and epidermal or sebaceous hyperplasia. The biggest mistake which is made in the clinical setting is to consider that it is an isolated entity, when in more than 90% of cases the external otitis is a further sign of a more or less generalized dermatological process. To treat and prevent recurrences of otitis is necessary to analyze carefully the factors involved in their development (predisposing, primary, secondary and perpetuating factors).
