Your cat's ear infection symptoms have returned shortly after completing a treatment with Tresaderm, and you're concerned about the safety of reapplying the medication or seeking further advice.
- Consider if a second round of Tresaderm is safe.
- Monitor if symptoms have worsened or persisted.
- Consult with a vet to ensure your cat's comfort and safety.
It's understandable to be worried when your cat's symptoms come back so quickly. While Tresaderm can be quite effective, using it again too soon without a veterinarian's guidance could cause issues. It's important to ensure it is appropriate for your cat's specific condition before reapplying. Sometimes, an underlying condition or resistant infection may require a different approach. Monitoring her closely and seeking professional advice would be beneficial.
