  Aim: This research evaluated the effectiveness of the otological solution based on cajá leaves (Spondias mombin L. -SM) as a therapeutic alternative in the treatment of bacterial external otitis in dogs. Methodology and results: For that, 20 dogs, without sex, breed and defined ages were divided into four groups, the first group used 2% SM diluted in glycerin and applied 24/24 h, the second group used 2% SM diluted in glycerin and applied 12/12 h, the third group as a positive control ciprofloxacin at 3.5% and the fourth group with SM at 20% applied 12/12 h. After 21 days of treatment, the alternative antimicrobial SM at 2% diluted in glycerin and applied for 12/12 h showed a reduction in the Colony Forming Unit (CFU) with no statistical difference from ciproflaxacin, no toxicological changes on the parameters..
