i have a 3 year old female moggy. now, she's always been clumsy, temperamental and arsey but a few weeks before christmas, she absolutely flipped out and attacked my sister and i. i'm talking ears back, fluffed out growling hissing spitting teeth and claws everywhere and she defecated while staring right through me when she cornered me in my bedroom. she had never ever displayed behaviour like it at all so obviously i took her to the vets who diagnosed cystitis and treated with antibiotics and painkillers. the vet noted that one of her pupils wasnt responding to light the same as the other but put it down to stress at being at the vets and her being ill as she has always been terrified of the vets so i didn't think too much of it at the time i just wanted her to feel better
since then she has gone to attack again more than once, has become clumsier and her pupil reaction is such that i can see with no special lighting that her pupils are not only different sizes but different shapes. she is eating 3 times more than usual but gaining no weight, if anything she's getting skinnier and she's always been slender, she's drinking more than usual, has started scenting all the time, sticking her nose right up my nostrils and in my mouth for example. she's extremely possessive over me and very clingy. she's wobbling and struggling with anything but mostly flat and clear surfaces as in she shows no grace or flexibility but isn't limping or displaying any symptoms of pain. she's also become very vocal of late when previously she barely ever raised a meow. she's also sleeping a lot more than she ever used to, she was always a very high energy cat who needed a lot of stimulation.
her injections, worming and flea treatments are all up to date, she has had no injuries or bites (she's an indoor cat anyway)
obviously my concern is that there's something neurological going on but apart from taking her tot he vets asap, what can i do for her?
please, anyone,w hat can i do as i'm devastated that she's seemingly so unwell and i don't know what to do, she's the first cat i've owned outright myself, all other animals were family pets and as such their care was my mums job. i'm absolutely distraught at the thought of losing her
