My 9 year old cat developed a problem this past week that left her right side disabled. She's walking, but wobbly. Turning in circles to the right. My vet said she probaly had a problem with the left side of her brain. Just what or how is unknown.

My problem is she won't eat or drink by herself ( i.e., from her bowls of food and water ) and I have to manually feed her. I've gotten bit several times in the process.

I liquify her food and use a rubber tipped syringe to feed her with. I hold her head with one hand and slide the syringe in the side of her mouth to dispense the liquid.

I think she's forgotten how to eat. I say that because she actually swallows whatever I get in her.

Has anyone had this problem and figured out how to get their cat to eat once again.

She has vision and hearing. I'm not sure about smelling.

I am hoping that given time she'll recover

Thanks for any reposnses , Gary
