I don't mean to alarm you but I had a cat that died from a stroke and he acted like that right before he fell over and died. I'd take her NOW to another emergency vet. If there are none close to where you live keep her quiet , keep offering fluids, try to warm up canned cat food in the microwave but make sure it's not hot and offer this to her but make sure you get her to a vet, preferably her own ASAP. Good luck.

Oh my have you asked about the food recall? Maybe the kind of food you are giving the cat is on the list. Take her back to the vet and demand an answer!!!! She is your baby. Good luck.

Did they check her for blindness? If her pupils are dilated she may be blind which would explain the disorientation and running into things. It happened to my cat and when I took the cat to the emergency vet, they didn't even have the intelligence to check his eyes. I had to insist that they do so, and then they said, "Oh yeah. His retinas are detached." Morons. So double-check! You know your pet better than anyone. Don't just rely on the doctor. Or get a second opinion from another doctor.

Sounds like she had had a stroke. It's uncommon but does happen. She could also have a brain tumor. I am very very surprised that the vets let you take her home with no improvement.
I would find another vet ASAP.

Hi
Were blood tests done? Why was she dehydrated? Have your vets ruled out a stroke? Food poisening? Iwish you the best.

What did the vet say? Sounds like she has a virus. Doesn't sound very good at all.
