Canine dermatitis and otitis cases are widely prevalent all over the world. The present study was aimed to find out the etiological agents for canine dermatitis and otitis cases and their antimicrobial/antifungal susceptibility for treatment purposes. A total of 275 skin scrapings and 189 ear swabs from canine dermatitis and otitis cases were collected and processed during the period from August, 2015 to March, 2020 at State Level Diagnostic Laboratory, SVVU, Tirupati. Out of 275 skin scrapings, parasitic -15 (5.45%), bacterial-63 (22.91%), fungal-159 (57.80%) and mixed infections -38 (13.82%) and out of 189 ear swabs from otitis cases, bacterial-33(17.50%), fungal-159 (57.81%) and mixed infections -19 (10.10%) were reported. Upon processing of skin scrapings and ear swabs, Malassezia pachydermatis was found to be major etiological agent with percent prevalence of 57.81 & 51.85 respectively. Among bacterial, Staphylococcus species found to be predominant followed by Pseudomonas species. Invitro antimicrobial sensitivity of staphylococcal isolates from dermatitis and otitis cases showed high sensitivity to Enrofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin, but resistance to Gentamycin, Ampicillin, Cefatriaxome and Pencillin. Pseudomonas isolates showed high sensitivity to Gentamycin and resistance to Ampicillin, Cefatriaxome, Enrofloxacin, towards canine dermatitis. Whereas isolates from Canine otitis cases showed high sensitivity to Gentamycin and Enrofloxacin but resistance to Ciprofloxacin and Streptomycin. Malassezia pachydermatis isolates showed high sensitivity to Ketoconozole and Itraconozole and resistance to Nystatin towards canine dermatitis and otitis cases.
