Have a gentle look in the ear, but if she isn't particularly tame (she doesn't sound it if you had to chase her to catch her), then I wouldn't poke around too much. Some people recommend a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear to loosen gunk, but when I wanted to do it with my girl she was...

It's great to see that she's looking better - a good job that you had some antibiotics to hand. We have the same problem in France as in Australia - you need a prescription for almost everything, which leads me to saving remnants of any medicine that I'm prescribed by the doctor in case it...
