OBJECTIVE: To describe video-otoscopy-guided tympanostomy tube placement in 12 cavalier King Charles spaniels with @entity2171 and assess the clinical outcome. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records of cavalier King Charles spaniels diagnosed with @entity2171 and treated with tympanostomy tubes placement between 2012 and 2014 was performed. Outcome was assessed based on a telephone questionnaire. RESULTS: Twenty-two tympanostomy tubes were successfully placed in the tympanic membrane in 12 cavalier King Charles spaniels under video-otoscopic guidance using a rigid endoscope and grasping forceps. Follow-up based on an owner questionnaire was available for 11/12 @entity235 . Subjective improvement in hearing was observed in 9/11 @entity235 with three @entity235 achieving normal hearing, according to the owners, and six demonstrating partial improvements. Out of 11 @entity235 , 10 @entity235 were reported with improved quality of life. Pruritus of the ears resolved in 3/9 @entity235 . Clinical signs recurred in four @entity235 because of tube dislodgement. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Video-otoscopic tympanostomy tube placement appeared to be indicated as a treatment for @entity2171 in cavalier King Charles spaniels. It subjectively improved hearing, @entity111 and quality of life in most @entity235 .
