We are fostering a mother cat. She had 5 kittens 5 weeks ago, and one was accidentally stepped on (her poor head). She has been on steroid treatment at the vet, IV fluids etc. Her left eye bulges out a bit now. She seems to be a little better, but tonight she just walks in circles and loses her balance while trying to walk that way. Is this a sign of something that has just gotten worse? Or is it simply part of what she will go through in getting better? Any comments, advice are welcome. I'm sick about this.

I think you really need a vet's advice, asap. Best wishes for you and the baby.

I agree that the kitty needs to see a vet ASAP. Sounds like there could be more problems.

Vet needed ASAP for this. The brain swells when there is head trauma.....eye bulging and neurological problems. This cannot wait.

I agree with this. Sounds like there is something neurological going on.
