Abstract

Present study was conducted on 19 selected cases of buffaloes (4), cattle (7), sheep (2) and goats  (6) having various types of external ear affection. These were wound, ear pinna gangrene, aural haematoma and otitis externa. Out of these, wound on ear pinna  in 4 cattle calves and 2 goats; ear pinna gangrene in 2 cattle calves, aural haematoma in 3 goats and otitis externa in 4 buffaloes, 1 cattle, 1 goats and 2 sheep was observed. Diagnosis, medical and surgico-therapeutic management of these cases are  documented with good outcomes.
