Feline eardrum punctured

Question
On Friday my feline Caswell was dropped off at the vet for vaccines (rabies and distemper), full senior panel and a bath to include trimming nails (back feet) and cleaning his very waxy ears.
Nine hours later I picked him up and was informed he tried to bolt (I couldn't emphasize enough that Caswell would try to escape)so when he tried to bolt they sedated him.  Fast forward on Sunday morning and he still cannot balance, he's still shaking his head and his left ear is laying flat to his head.
I have my theories:
severe reaction to the telazol
stroke
punctured eardrum from the ear cleaning.
I cannot leave him unattended as he tries to descend stairs or jump onto a chair and falls.
It's upsetting to see this but I was told by the Vet on Saturday to observe him for lethargy and/or depression.


Answer
Oh Boy!  yes Angela, it could be some damage to the ear drum and his balance would be off... Sounds right to me!
Here are some ideas for baby's health:

First off - Let's get him on some Turmeric; Here is a good quality brand - Greenbush Company:  All Human Grade:
