Abstract
This chapter deals with otitis in dogs and cats, and focuses on otitis externa and otitis media. It discusses the etiology/pathophysiology, signalment, history and clinical signs, diagnosis, and therapy of otitis. In otitis externa, the primary disease initially causes inflammation within the canal which leads to an increase in epidermal turnover and hyperplasia of the canal wall with narrowing of the lumen. Primary disease triggered by atopic dermatitis is most commonly seen in the West Highland white terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, Labrador retriever, German shepherd dog, and boxer. In most cases, infectious otitis media is secondary, resulting from a descending infection as an extension of otitis externa, rather than an ascending infection from the oropharynx or a result of hematogenous infection. Therapy involves several stages: flushing the bulla; infusion of topical medication(s) into the bulla; reduction of inflammation with glucocorticoids (topical or systemic); administration of systemic antibiotics; and reassessment every 7–10 days.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
