1 1/2 yr old cat with Parkinson-like symptoms?

My cat is a healthy 1 1/2 yr old. We’ve had him all his life. He was just fine yesterday, but he woke up early this morning and started going ballistic, running in circles and meowing.

Now, his eyes are twitching; his pupils are dilated, and his head’s tilted at an angle so that the right side is lower. His head keeps twitching down to the right when he tries to move.

We took him to the vet, but the only plausible diagnosis was the cat’s getting hit in the head, which doesn’t make sense, since he slept inside the house on a computer chair the whole night.

I would take your cat to another vet. These are all symptoms of a neurologic problem. Have another vet preform a neurologic tests on him to make sure he’s ok. Neurologic issues can effect a cat at any age and is very serious.

Good Luck I hope he feels better!
