Hello there! I'm glad you're reaching out about your cat. I understand how concerning it can be to see them have trouble moving around and keeping their balance. These symptoms can be due to several factors, especially as cats age.
One common cause is arthritis, which can make movement painful and lead to less stability. Inner ear infections or issues can also affect balance, so it’s important to observe if your cat is tilting their head or seems disoriented. Neurological problems, such as those due to age-related conditions or more serious illnesses, can also manifest as mobility issues.
At home, you can help your kitty by ensuring they have easy access to their favorite resting spots and food. Consider using ramps or steps if needed. Make sure they stay cozy and warm, as warmth can often ease discomfort.
Keep an eye out for other signs, such as significant weight loss, vomiting, or changes in appetite or behavior, as these could indicate a more serious underlying issue that requires immediate attention.
It's always a good idea to consult with a vet who can assess your cat's condition more thoroughly. I recommend setting up a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional to discuss this further and determine the best care plan for your furry friend.

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
