My cat is tilting its head. What could be the possible causes for this?

Question

Yonnie has a head tilt. One vet thinks it’s a polyp but she unfortunately isn’t being 100% honest with me and I keep finding out little things. He has a second opinion on the 29th. His head tilts and he goes up cat trees backwards. He can walk in a straight line, and eats just like the other cats. He runs around and plays like the other cats too. Is there anything else that could be causing this? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 3.1 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Yonnie! How old is Yonnie? that is very important in order to tell you possible causes. Causes in kittens are different then adult or senior cats. If Yonnie is a kitten and polyp is likely the number 1 cause. Other causes are: deep ear infection under the ear drum, viral infections like leukemia, FIP or even feline infectious peritonitis. Since you do not trust your Vet then it is best to seek your 2nd opinion on the 29th. Then you can start getting Yonnie better. I hope this helps and I wish Yonnie a speedy recovery!
