We have again lost another feline soul in our family....
Baby kitty our 5 year old cat started having seizures thursday night, it was only one and again only 1 on Friday our vet did blood work and found nothing that was out of the ordinary our cats are strictly indoors only so they have no access to anything toxic of poisonous outside and I don't have any plants inside nor do we use any strong toxic chemicals in our home for cleaning or any other purpose. Our vet was very concerned that it might be neurological and quite possibly the start of epilepsy from my research and from talking to our vet this can happen unexpectedly you don't know when it will happen.
He started baby kitty on small does of phenobarbital and we gave him his first pill saturday morning around 11:30am now pheno can take a while to build up in the system to be effective so we expected one or two more seizures. Nope it wound up being 6 total and after the very last one as baby kitty had not eaten or drank all day so at 10:30pm we took him to the After hours Emergency vets here in town and they immediately started him on Iv fluids a seditive as well and kept him through the weekend, we called on sunday morning and the vet on duty said he only had 1 more seizure since saturday night so we were relieved and said baby kitty was alert and a bit feisty (don't blame him). So Monday monring hubby went and picked him up and delivered him to our regular vet who was going to keep him over night for observation...and he to said baby kitty started to come around and perk up quite a bit..our vet proceded to keep a check up on him through the day...well baby kitty passed way sometime monday afternoon at our vets office, our vet was devastated as he was very optimistic baby kitty would be able to return home with us....
Our vet had run a full blood panel again to make sure it was nothing that we should be worried bout our other cats getting and nope nothing..so we are relieved there...we just don't understand how this could come on so suddenly with no warning at all..And what really makes it very upsetting for us is that his mother is the cat we lost a few months ago to a stroke.....
