twitching head


Question Posted Wednesday January 6 2010, 1:31 pm

my cat is a 13 year old female, blue point persian, indoor only (couldnt have fleas/earmites)

the other day, my cats head began to twitch to the left when she walked and sat, even when she slept a little. if i touched above her left eye it would make the twitching act up. she acted normal besides that (ate, walked around, jumped up on the bed) it lasted for about 2 hours on and off, then it hasnt happened since.

i looked it up on the internet and it said that it could be a neurological problem, thats common in older cats. also, could the fact that my cats vet said that she had a 'stopped up colon ?' (ive been giving her some metamucil to help.) also she has a little gingivitis.

is she okay since it hasnt happened since? what could be the cause of her twitching? it there something i can do to help her myself? (i cant afford lots of vet bills i have a baby coming)

Animals if they have ear infections or allergies to something new often shake their heads like this. It's a futile attempt in some of them to shake lose wax etc. and anything irritating them. Look into that and prescription cream from a vet.

Indoor animal or not they do get such problems and could be an allergy if you switched food, bedding or anything else.
