Why is my cat still sneezing after ear yeast infection treatment?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year old | 9 lbs

Hi there, my cat has had a yeast infection in her ear twice now, and has just finished her antibiotics for it yesterday, but today I noticed that she was sneezing - is sneezing a symptom of yeast infection in cats ears? Or could she maybe have something that goes beyond the yeast infection? Please advise if you need more information. Thank you.

Thanks for the question. When we have pets with repeated ear infections we worry about underlying allergies. This may be food allergies or environmental allergies. Often until we get the underlying problem under control, the ear infections will continue to come back. So to answer your question, yes there could be more going on than just an ear infection. I hope this helps.
