Epilepsy in cats

[Acebikerchick]

Excuse me if this has been mentioned before.

My little cat Ftumpsh had a strange turn last week. We thought she had been poisoned so rushed her to the vets. She couldnt stand up and looked "confused" The vet said it wasnt poisoning but could have been a fit. We took her home, kept her quiet and after a hour she was bouncing round as usual. She has had around 3 more.

Has anyone else come across this? Is it common? None of the other kittens have any problems and Willem hasnt.

I would personally keep a close eye and take notes followed by another visit to the vets asap to be honest.

I have no experience of epilepsy in cats. I think if she were mine and had had more than one 'attack' then I'd be back to the vets for a definite diagnosis and to know if there were any possible treatments for her. Good luck and do let us know how she goes on...
