My 3-year-old cat had a stroke and still has balance issues. What's wrong?

Question

A few months ago my 3yr old cat had a stroke in which I took him to a vet. They said he did have a stroke and kept him over night and the symptoms went away. A few days ago he had another stroke, however 3 day after that stroke he still has balance issues. What's wrong with my cat? Is this normal for a cat of 3yrs old? And what should I do?

That is a unusual for a 3 year old cat to keep having strokes. He needs a full work up with blood work and x-rays. He could have a problem with his heart, an infectious disease, or a neurological issue. You could take him to a veterinary specialist, if your vet is unable to diagnose and treat the problem. Sorry he is having this issue and hope he recovers soon!
