My cat walks like she is drunk, she seems disoriented and when you pet her head backwards she gets very dizzy?

Question

she also cannot jump on the bed anymore but climbs on it.

she sleeps alot and doesn't have the energy she used to.

She eats and drinks normally. What is wrong with her?

Answer 1

I just came form my vet with the same problem for my 4 year old male cat. He said that there is no easy answer, but seems nuerologically related. His temp was fine and bloodtest all came back normal, but he said without a mri or catscan which would cost upward of 3,000 dollars all we can do is treat the symptoms and see if we cant make him at least feel better. He gave him a long term shot of cortizone to see if the anti-inflammatory properties help him in walking better. I hope so! I would hate to see this cat go after only 4 years!
