Thanks for reaching out with your question about your cat. I'm sorry to hear that your feline friend has experienced a stroke. Just like in humans, a stroke in cats occurs when there's a disruption of blood flow to the brain, often caused by a blood clot or bleeding.
Post-stroke, it's normal to notice symptoms like weakness, difficulty walking, head tilting, or changes in behavior. Recovery varies for each cat, but many do improve significantly with time and appropriate care.
At-home care involves creating a safe and comfortable environment. Ensure your cat has easy access to food, water, and a litter box. Feeding them an elevated bowl might help if they're struggling to lower their head. Keep their environment calm and free of stress, as stress can hinder recovery.
Watch for any signs of deterioration, such as increased confusion, seizures, significant loss of appetite, or inability to move limbs, which could indicate serious issues needing immediate veterinary attention.
Ongoing care and monitoring are crucial for your cat's recovery. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. We can offer personalized advice and help you navigate your cat’s recovery journey.

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
