Gary --

When I first read your post, I had similar thoughts to that of PHKitKat -- vestibular syndrome. I say that because my cat had a dizzy spell and I did a lot of reading on common causes... His did not turn out to be vestibular or stroke, but the symptoms you decribed could be vestibular. I didn't mention it because you said you'd taken her to the vet so I would think they would have mentioned it -- but maybe not. It is probably worth a check with that same vet if you are comfortable or with another vet. It is something that sounds fairly easy to clear up when you read up on it. Something to rule out and not just assume it is stroke... Glad PHKitKat brought it up...

You may also want to slightly warm her food (not hot but warm) as it may bring more smell out of it... Warm food smells stronger than cold food... Maybe mix it with warmer water if you use cold now... Science Diet AD wet is the way to go until she is 100%. Can get it thru your vet.
