Hello, We adopted a stray cat which is 4-5 months old now.Today,when we were playing with him, we observed strange behaviours.It was like he was having a seizure,he kept turning his head to one specific side repeatedly,his eyes were like following something and they couldn't stop.He tried to walk but he couldn't because it was like the left part of his body was out of his control.We took him to the vet,he examined our cat and asked a blood test 4 toksop.the results were fine.why did this happen. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 11 days old | 5511 lbs

He could have this behavior from an ear infection, head injury, low blood sugar or epilepsy. If Sherlock is back to normal then it was a seizure, if he's still having these problems and the blood work was normal I'm concerned about a serious neurological problem. I would take him back for a recheck if he's not much by tomorrow. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sherlock.
