Vestibular Disease in Cats | VCA Animal Hospitals
This article discusses treatment and prognosis. There is not an exact treatment, but there are interventions which can be tried. It is usually resolvable although the cat may need special care while in the midst of the condition.
I read on google that some antibiotics can cause vestibular disease. She had a an antibiotic shot for uti . Wonder if this may be the cause since it happen a week after her antibiotics
...in another post). It was scary to see this happen AGAIN.
The vet told me yesterday it could be pain from her mouth. It could be vestibular. Reading about vestibular, though, it seems to focus on balance (on four). We have not seen any of this when Lucy has been up and moving. Can it...
Seems she has no more head tilt. Are vestibular disease a temporary thing? I been reading about it but no idea what kinds there are. She wasn't infected because of an ear. It seemed sudden out of the blue
My cat has head tilt again 😭😭 is there a cute for vestibular disease? She's eating and drinking fine. Is there a pet stepper so she can easily go on my bed? She has trouble jumping and likes sleeping next to me
...( a little) since I thought it may be saddle thrombosis. I took her to the vet prepared to say goodby, but upon exam vet said it was vestibular. I had totally missed the nystagmus and the titled head. I was relieved! Zippy did have a lower than normal temperature so they kept her for the day...
Let us know what you find out. I have seen cats who have an irritated or infected ear tilt their head, so it may not be vestibular syndrome. At any rate, you are better off waiting for the vet since the appointment is tomorrow. I once made one of my dog's ear infection much worse by trying to...
...in circles then falling over. We rushed her to the emergency vet, checked her out thoroughly and determined that it was idiopathic vestibular syndrome and gave her meds for nausea. She was fine within a couple days.
It was extremely scary as I thought she was having a stroke. She never...
Is it idopathic? Indy has Idiopathic vestibular disease and actualy had her first attack in the peak of the pandemic (when everything was grey zone locked down) so didn't get diagnosed officialy until a year later.
I'm sorry you are going through this again. It's so scary vestibular disease but your zippy certainly has the right person looking after her. You told me about your other experience of it when i was dealing with it with my Bandit. I didn't have a clue what to expect. Sending hugs to Zippy and...
Without expensive X-rays and tests we couldn’t be certain if it was idiopathic. It maybe an inner ear infection. So we chose to treat her for an infection. She has vastly improved since I took her to the vet. She even managed a few very wobbly steps this morning.
...cataracts and said she may have high blood pressure but it was impossible to check due to her agitation. When she had her second stroke/vestibular incident in April, she got full blood work which was all fine, including thyroids and negative for diabetes. I would imagine her blood work then...
...is like chewing and/or drooling are usually signs if nausea.
Eyes moving back and forth suggest severe dizziness.
Have you investigated vestibular syndrome? It could be caused by an infection of the inner ear, so antibiotics are a good bet. It could also be a tumour that either affects the...
He doesn't seem off-balance when playing and jumping.
I also keep having to remind myself that we have no idea what's going on inside his body. He hasn't had any kind of scan to reveal internal tumors. I'm sure such a thing would be way out of my budget, anyway.
But no signs of pain, at all...
...is not doing any of this when she is on her feet or sitting. We were not able to replicate it at the clinic. She told me it could be vestibular. She told me it could be a reaction to the pain. She still has some swelling on her cheek area but looks like some of it has gone down but...
