Many years ago, my calico Persian Priscilla had a similar experience. It turned out she had been bitten by some type of insect which caused her dizziness. I can't remember what my vet prescribed--but he did know just what to do for her. And she recovered and lived many more years in good health. ----- Original Message ----- From: laurieskatz To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 6:52 PM Subject: Re: Whitey
Teddy had a head tilt for a short time. I don't know that I ever got an explanation. It was on and off. You might have his vision checked...Teddy had a retinal hemorrhage. No idea if related to the head tilt or not but it was close to the same time.

Whitey is still having some "issues" and I was hoping some of the more experienced people around might have an idea of what's up. The problem I'm seeing is he's still disoriented/dizzy and holding his head sideways when he walks. I can't figure out whats wrong with him! We thought it was a severe inner ear infection, but after 4 weeks on Baytril, it still hasn't cleared up. (It seems to have gotten much better, but not gone). He also had horribly bad teeth, all of which were pulled two weeks ago. I was thinking maybe that was part of it, but he's still doing it two weeks after the dental work and 2 weeks on Baytril, so I'm at a loss here. He's about 12 years old for those of you who may not remember. He's otherwise asympomatic. He doesn't appear to be in any pain. He's quite friendly still and purs when he's in my lap, he gets around, eats and drinks well, using the litterbox well, other than the walking with his head sideways and stumbling his health is a thousand times better than it was when I took him in, but I just can't figure the dizziness out. Any thoughts on what might be causing it? Or how to treat? Should I schedule him another vet appointment? He has to go back on the 13th for his FeLV booster, so I'll definitely talk to the vet then, but I didn't know if I should consider taking him in earlier.
