Hi, if the medication is authorise for usage in cats, there normally are pretty safe margins and there should be no need for you to be worried. The only case would be if you decided to purchase and use some ear drops from a pet shop for example, you overdosed your cat by putting a larger amount in her ear and her ear drum was perforated. However if she does seem her usual self this is unlikely to have happened. Hope this helps. Thank you. For using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
