Vestibular disease is not well understood; the cause is unknown, although it
may come on due to an inner ear infection. Normally it does resolve on its own,
but it can take several weeks or more. Is your cat showing any signs of
improvement?

I don't think there is much you can do other than keep her in a safe place so
she doesn't fall. If the vet determined an ear infection was the problem, he
would likely prescribe antibiotics.

Here's some info: http://pawcare.com/rclemmons/vestib.htm

I am not sure, but I think our cat suffered from vestibular disease after a
dental cleaning last year. The symptoms were the same. The vet said it might
also have been a reaction to the anesthesia. Regardless, it did clear up on its
own--eventually.

One of my cats, Debbie, had episodes of idiopathic vestibular disease for
2 - 3 years.  No cause was found (idiopathic): it left as mysteriously as it
had arrived.

Medication: My vet prescribed meclizine to be given to her at the very first
signs of the onset of an episode.  Meclizine is the same ingredient/med that
is in Bonine, the motion sickness medicine for humans.  Humans also take it
when they have viral ear infections, to control the dizziness.  The
meclizine helped - it didn't halt the episodes, but did control the amount
of dizziness/off-balance to a degree.

Thank you all for the advice.  I will try a motion sickness medication.
Hopefully she'll get some relief.  Thanks again.
