Refractory otitis externa due to Malassezia pachydermatitis and cocci in dogs: diagnosis and treatment.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Seventeen cases of otitis externa in dogs (German shepherd 7, Great Dane 2, Labrador 3, Dachshund 2, Boxer 2, Beagle 1) of varying age groups (1 to 8 years) refractory to routine therapy were investigated for its etiology using otoscopic, radiographic and cytological examinations. Investigation revealed that these cases of refractory otitis externa were due to mixed infection of Malassezia pachydermatis and Gram +ve cocci/rods. German shepherd appeared to be more predisposed breed. The head shaking, ear scratching, pain on manipulation of pinna, excessive aural discharge were most common clinical features of otitis externa caused by mixed infection of yeast and microbes. Recovery was uneventful with ear flushing with saline, meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg b.wt.), enrofloxacin (@10 mg/kg b.wt.), ketoconazole @ 10 mg/kg b.wt. PO OD and topical application of ear drop containing antifungal, antibacterial and steroid.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
