I have a 5yo male, neutered Tonkinese cat. He has been getting progessive vestibular-like symptoms over the past 18 months. I rescued him 3 years ago and he also had severe stomatitis at the time leading to needing most of his teeth removed. He has always had a funning gait since I have had him. About 18 months ago he began having severe episodes of uncoordination, circling, and falling. About 9 months ago, he began showing signs of horizontal nystagmus (fast phase to the left I think) periodically. About 3 months ago, he began having very severe nearly seizure-like episodes where he could not stop flipping over, circling, falling over, and was generally not responsive to me. He wears himself out doing this and I am afraid he might be hitting his head when rolling. Sometimes one or both ears will get warm and red. He also sounds congested much of the time. These symptoms all come and go and seem cyclic in nature. He has now had about 4 of these severe episodes but they always resolve within a 24h period. Oh and he also has proprioceptive deficits on the right side. He has been seen by a neurologist, but no official diagnosis as I really can't afford for him to get an MRI or CT. Any thought?

I have a 12 year old male cat which was diagnosed with Ataxia this was quite advanced as a result my cat could not walk and had no feeling in his back right leg, he was prescribed steroid tablets called Predicare and anti acid tablets He has two steroid tablets per day one in the morning and one in the evening and one anti acid tablet per day thirty minuets before food. He has since taking the medication for only a few days developed a swollen oesophagus which makes him regurgitate his food almost immediately, I have been told by my vet that this could be a side effect of the medication. I would like to ask what type of Ataxia you think he has, and how long will he be on steroids and what can be done for the swelling of the oesophagus meanwhile the reason for contacting you is because this treatment for my cat has cost me just over five thousand pounds over the past four weeks. Many thanks for time reading this request Mr Albert Ross

My Cat Just Had A Litter Of Kittens, She Got 3 Out Then Her Uterus Came Out.. So She Had To Have An Emergency C-section. We Brought Her Home About 2 Days Ago & Tonight We Noticed That She’s Lost Controll Of Her Front Right Paw & Her Left Back Paw..

My kitty has been more wobbly lately. She’s deaf and about 13-15 years old (we adopted her) she keeps laying on her right ear, and her vision seems to be off slightly. She was on the floor and I moved my foot towards her slightly and she backed up really fast like she couldn’t tell depth wise how far away it was. She seems to do better focus wise when she’s laying down. Pupils still dialate the way they should. She seems to lose her balance on unsteady surfaces like my bed and doesn’t try jumping up on things anymore. I noticed this after I gave her frontline tick prevention (little drops that go on their neck) could this be Ataxia or a sign of something I should be concerned about? She’s still normal otherwise; very lovey, purrs, cuddles, eats, drinks, potty as normal.
