Neighbor's cat walking in circles
Gizmo was walking around in circles and falling down so we took him to the vet. Diagnosis is either inner ear infection or some kind of lesion on the brain; it's unlikely to be a stroke since he's only 7 or 8. He has something called Megaesophogus which is very rare in cats and mostly occurs in dogs, and that is apparently secondary to some other underlying conditions but the vet does not think it is related to this circling behavior. After a few days on antibiotics and cortisone he appears somewhat better but he is due for a follow-up visit in a few days and we're hopeful that he will continue to improve. Purrs are welcome. |

Purrs on the way!

Gizmo is apparently always going to walk with his head tilted somewhat towards the left but at least he isn't falling over or walking in circles. He spends his time eithe sleeping or attacking one of the other cats, so he's pretty much back to normal. |
