My cat has a head tilt, wobbles, and keeps falling over. What's wrong?

Question

Our cat developed a head tilt in February. Since then she has progressively gotten worse. She sways, wobbles and falls over. She has no balance and spends most of her time laying down. She vomits and poops outside of litterbox about once a week. Tonight I noticed she is walking on her haunches similar to a cat with neuropathy. Diabetes has been ruled out. The vet took blood/urine and only said her triglycerides are high. She claimed the ears don't look infected. No nystagmus. What should we do?

The next steep would be a test for toxoplasmosis and an x-ray of the head. She could still have an inner ear infection. Unfortunately should als suffer from a brain tumor. You may want to get a referral to a veterinary neurologist..
