Hey folks,
This is my first time posting on here. I am a little concerned about my cat Phantom 10 months. She's an adorable cat that was a wild one now turned sweet heart. Anyway, one day she just couldn't walk straight and kept falling over. Her eyes were dialated and she was meowing in a horrible cat moan. So we call the vet and it appears she has cat vertigo. I don't recall the proper name for it, but that is what I have been calling it. So it turns out it is supposed to go away. Well after several months of me waiting she still has her head cocked to one side to see. I was wondering if anyone on here has experienced this and if you have any suggestions. I have brought her in and the vet does not seem to be too concerned. I just feel badly for her that when she walks her head is at a 25 degree angle. She's healthy has no other problems. So I am at a loss, any suggestions. Thank you so much!

Jesse,

Did the vet examine the ear? It almost sounds like a bad inner ear infection that can be very painful (and usually can be cured or at least controlled?) If not, I would suggest you take your cat to another vet for a second opinion-
