Hi,
About 20 minutes ago I was snuggling/rubbing heads with my little girl on the arm of a chair, when all of a sudden I noiced she was sort of shaking her head in a very unnatural way (I.e. not the kind of shaking of the head cats normally do) It looked more like a little spasm, and then she started scratching at her head).
She has been getting a lot of crap in her ears recently, and I have tried cleaning it out with que tips and by trying to squirt a bit of water into her ears to loosen the debris. She has also been scratching a lot at her ears and head, even before I attempted to clean them.
About 2 years ago (around Oct/Nov 2011), she had what can only be described as some kind of fit. She couldn't keep her balance, and at the end I thought she was dying. She fell on the floor and looked like she was fitting. She however recovered wothout any kind of medication, even though I had her checked over by the vet.
She has also recently (about a month ago) had an operation to remove 2 teeth and a root. Since then it has been very hard to get her to eat wet food. She will eat dry however, and I've been giving her cat milk with every meal, to make sure her liquid intake has been kept up.
Sorry for the probably irrelevant information, but I just added it incase someone can spot something that I can't. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue may be? I'm really very scared it could be a brain tumour or something.
