Me too. But, are you giving her antibiotics orally or just using an antibiotic that is to be administered to the ear. However, I'd take her off all food and put her on a bland diet of steamed rice and boneless, skinless steamed chicken.....and get her back to the vet's in the morning. Make sure that she is getting plenty of fluids....if you can Pedialyte would be good.....mixed in with her water.

Listen to her tummy for gurgling....also, if you can take her temp....normal is 101.2...if tummy is gurgling and temp is below 100 it's an indication that you are dealing with enteritis.....again, I strongly suggest that you get her into the vet.
