It's not uncommon for some pets to experience mild irritation after topical medication applications. However, if your cat is noticeably uncomfortable or if symptoms persist, it could indicate that the medication is irritating her skin, or that the infection is not responding to treatment as expected. Keeping a close watch on her symptoms will help you decide the next steps.
