Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. What you are describing could be residual infection that has not cleared up 100%. If Tillie is vomiting as well, I would recommend having the veterinarian recheck her so that the most appropriate treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps and hope that Tillie improves soon! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
