My older cat is falling, gagging, head tilting, and not eating. Help!

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

My cat is older and an outside cat but she is experiencing unbalance and from that she falls over, she has been gagging, she tilts her head over allot, and not eating anything. So my question I was wondering, does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Sounds like a toxicity of some sort but it could also be an underlying problem with her liver and/or kidneys. I suggest you have her to the vet for an exam and some blood testing to start with. We cannot really recommend any treatment without knowing the underlying cause of her symptoms.
