Give her a scritch for me, Miss Chicken. Hope she feels much better real soon.
Miss Chicken (the cat) is ill

I'm glad she's feeling better. Hopefully this will all pass quickly.
I just remembered something like this happened to our cat. She was lying around, looked to be on her last legs, then the vet gave her some tablets, and a few days later she was back to normal. If we hadn't got the tablets it would have been over, but she came good pretty quickly and lived for another five years.
May the little three legged one continue on!

Miss Chicken, it's been two days since we've had an update. How is little Miss Chicken doing?
She seems to be getting better though I am a bit concerned about her behaviour. She seems to forget that she has just been fed and asks for more even when her favourite foods are in her bowl.
Yesterday she ran into my bedroom and in the middle of her run she did a strange jump into the air. The jump seemed to confuse and distress her. It is hard to explain just how odd this jump was. It was as if she meant to jump forward onto my bed but went straight up instead.

Well, that can still be explained by inner ear problems; that would throw off her coordination. The medication could also be affecting her.
Hopefully she will continue to get better.

She's all right I hope MC??
She has an appointed at the vet tomorrow afternoon, I will let you all know what the vet says.
She seems a lot better. No longer wobbly and no longer tilting her head but her eye is still dilated.

I guess the antibiotics are working. Thank goodness.
Maybe she's got her eye on a handsome tom
Your cat's symptoms sound like something one of my cats had once: vestibular ear disorder. One of the symptoms is the head tilt - also vibrating movement of the eyeballs and difficulty walking. It can be cause by inner ear infection or thiamin deficiency, but in some cases there's no obvious reason. Elderly cats come down with it more frequently than younger cats.
Here's the odd thing - for reasons nobody understands, cats get this more often in early Fall. That's when my cat got the symptoms, which cleared up on their own. I thought, it's the wrong time of year, but then I remembered - you're in the Southern Hemisphere, and for you it's early Fall, right?
