Excessive vocalization can sometimes indicate pain or illness, so following up with your vet to see if Toffee's infection has cleared is best. It may be that she is also feeling a bit better and is more active/excited to see you and thus vocalizing. Taking into account other things such as her activity levels, how much she's eating and drinking, how playful she is, etc can help give you a better indication of her health and pain levels than just squeaking alone.
