Hello there! It sounds like you're concerned about your 10-year-old Domestic Medium Hair cat experiencing intention tremors. Let's break this down in a calm and reassuring way.
Intention tremors appear when a pet tries to make a voluntary movement, like reaching for a toy or food. In older cats like yours, this could have a few causes. Neurological issues, such as brain disease or injury, are possibilities, as is something affecting the balance system in her ears. Tremors can also be linked to metabolic issues, like thyroid problems or kidney disease, which are more common in senior cats.
At home, you can make sure she's comfortable and reduce stressors in her environment. Keep her routine consistent, provide easy access to favorite resting spots, and prevent any potential injuries by removing sharp objects she might bump into.
Watch for signs that things might be getting serious. If the tremors worsen, are accompanied by confusion or disorientation, a lack of appetite, sudden weakness, or if she seems in pain, it's time to get a professional opinion quickly.
For a thorough assessment and guidance, please consider booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can help you determine the best next steps for your furry friend's health.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
