    Cat head injury
    We found a kitten with a head injury. She cannot find her own food and spins to the right looking for it. If I stop her and put the food over her right shoulder she can eat it, but I have to hold her because she continues to try to spin. Its getting better but should I expect this to go away?

    Please take her to the vet to evaluate her abilities and what she can't do . He may have an idea of what will improve and how to help.

    She needs medications to help decrease any swelling or inflammation, it's not just swelling that you would see. If she has an injury and there is muscle and tissue swelling then it's pressing on nerves. This is only my guess.
    You will need to take her to the vet, DO NOT give her anything from your medicine chest, it is very dangerous for her.
