Last Thursday brought my gal to the vet to check on her ear infection.
She was given Oticon drops twice a day and on every 3rd day to put ear wash.
Last Tuesday we clean the ears as instructed by dropping the cleaning drops and cleaning the external.
Next day she came down with running nose and sneezes.
Has she caught a cold due to ear wash?
She feels bit warmer and has been licking her nose and cleaning it with her paws.
Pls advice what can be done.
I have stopped the Oticon drop as well and trying to get a vet appt.

She most likely has a little cold or upper respiratory infection brought on by the stress of going to the vet's office. I would continue the drops. Keep an eye on her and if she becomes extremely lethargic, stops eating, or you see changes in litter box or play habits, get her to the vet immediately.

Yup. Bringing her to the vet tonight.
Her ear allergy is suspected food allergy and she was given steroid jab on last visit.
After which her appetite has increased with thirst.
We got her 3mths back and as she was already 2.2yrs then she seldom plays. More of a eat, sleep, don't touch if I don't let you kind of gal.
🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️.
