PSOM or SM??

A vet can scope a dog (put a scope down the ears) to see if the tympanum is bulging outwards which often indicates a bad case of PSOM. But dogs can still have PSOM without it being able to be seen (the case with both of mine). Generally the dog needs to be put under for that type of scope exam, I believe, though a specialists might be able to spot the problem on a regular exam. An MRI is a definite way of seeing PSOM as it shows up as a white blob in the ear area.
Ohio State Univ. has been doing an ongoing study on PSOM with one goal being a less invasive way of diagnosing it.
My mother was told by her vet that she didn't have the right equipment for examining the ears for PSOM so to me sounds like you need a specialist for this. Maybe someone else knows more (Rory's mom probably does as she's a vet student!).
