Our blind cat was fine this morning, but then when went to walk to her food bowl for breakfast I noticed that she was unsteady on her feet and falling over a bit. No other sign of illness or pain. I scooped her right up and took her to our vet. She was perky in the car and seems fine other than the walking issue.
Vet says she has nystagmus in her eyes and is definitely instead on her feet. She thinks she either threw a small blood clot, or fell off of something and hit her head. The latter could have happened, I supposed, but I am not aware of any falls and since she is blind she doesn't climb that high. They're going to keep her overnight and give her fluids and steroids. We're so worried about her!
She's blind from being hit by a car when she was a stray cat. We've had her about 6 years and she's probably 7-8 years old.
Anyone have experience with this?
