Why is my cat not eating and wobbly after her recent vet visit?

Question

My cat is currently gone off her food which is not like her since she came back from the vets last Friday, she hardly touches her food and I've noticed her balance is off still when she jumps onto the side. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 8 months old

That is strange that Misty has gone off her food lately and that her balance is off. It could be that she has an ear infection, causing her balance to be off and not want to eat. I would try to tempt her to eat by offering her small amounts of boiled white meat chicken (no bones), or soaking her dry food in gently warmed low sodium beef or chicken broth, or tuna juice. If this doesn't tempt her to eat, I would take her into the vet in the morning for an exam. When a cat doesn't eat for at least three days, they will develop a fatty liver, which is fatal without treatment. It's best to avoid that from happening, so I would have her seen by a vet in the morning if she still isn't eating. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms, and can treat her for them.
