Geez Louise. One day he was normal, next day he is off balance. Skittles is 9 1/2, neutered. He can sit up for treats, so I know his hind legs are fine.
He does NOT scratch his ear and I looked inside, didn't see anything abnormal, but he is very skittish so I didn't do a great job of looking. I definitely didn't see any brown spots.
One of my other cats loves to pester him and he may have hit his head on the leg of a bar stool as the heating pet bed is between two bar stools. That's the only thing I can think of. His appetite is fine, and nothing else out of the ordinary. He can hear me when I call him.
I guess I will have to get out my credit card to see the vet. I'm wondering if I could take him first to a reputable grooming facility that I know and they could have a better look? I've read in other posts that in order to do a proper test, the swab has to be looked at under a microscope though.
And also from reading on here, it's obviously his inner ear. He does eat a diet consisting of bulgar wheat which he and all my others have been on for 10+ years. I probably should rotate the bulgar with other substitutes that aren't grain in case he has a yeast problem.
Help? Ideas?
