My cat is squinting after eye ointment. Is it an allergic reaction?

Question

After eye ointment (amacin) cat seems to be very squinty, after an hour still squinting. Prescribed yesterday, (for 2wks) same problem last night after application and this morning, unable to call vet late in the evening :( Also being treating with DermOtic for ear mites Trying to find info on any bad reactions to eye ointment, unsure how to tell if eye is irritated from cream, or if maybe allergic reaction? Freckle? Darkish brown/red colour. Should I keep using this ointment? or wash out? Pet's info: Cat | Siberian | Female | spayed | 4 years and 1 month old | 8.25 lbs

I would stop using the ointment and wash it out until you can talk to your vet. Was the cat squinting prior to you taking her to the vet? Was the medication prescribed for that brown spot? If you could post again with more information and photos of the medication you are using we may be able to help you better.
