Abstract
The adverse effects of many medications used in veterinary treatment might cause hearing or balance problems in an animal. Although the predominance and ototoxicity pathways in both humans and lab animals have been well explored, significantly less research has been done on domestic dogs and cats. Since these adverse effects are universal among species, one can extrapolate from them and provide the veterinarian with details regarding possible chemotherapeutic side effects.
