CAT IS OFF BALANCE AND HOLDING IS HEAD ON ONE SIDE, SEEMS TO

I'm sorry to hear this and understand your concern for Tiger.

When did this start?

Does he have red, waxy or smelly ear canals?

Hi there, could you see my reply above?

Without further information it is difficult for me to provide the best advice but I will certainly try.

Please reply when you can and we can continue the conversation.

Tiger's signs could have several causes including:

• An inner ear infection
• Vestibular disease
• An ear polyp
• An infection of the central nervous system
• Trauma to the head
• A toxin build up or recent toxin ingestion
• A brain tumour
• Etc.

At his age, we need to be extra cautious, especially as many cats will have underlying health issues such as high blood pressure and hormonal disorders.

A vet visit is needed so we can examine Tiger and his head and ears, as well as performing a neurological exam. He may also need a blood test.

Treatment will depend on what is found and may include e.g. antibiotics and anti inflammatories.

Hopefully he is back to normal very soon.
