Hello and welcome. I'm sorry that you have found us through such a difficult situation. Like the others who have expressed an opinion, I think you should ask a second vet for advice. We are only amateurs of course, but it sounds so much like epilepsy. Good luck |

Welcome to Catsey; sorry it was for such a sad reason. I agree that a second opinion would be an excellent idea if the current vet isn't particularly helpful. Like the others said, it does sound very much like epilepsy...... |

Hi thanks for all the posts. I have not seen my mums cat have one of these funny turns but when she described it to me I thought epilepsy too as I used to have an epileptic cat. The howling and the loss of bowel control are the same but he does not do the twitching, paddling movements that my cat used to do. Does anyone know if they can have a fit but remain still? She did suggest epilepsy to the vet but they did not seem to think this was the problem. |

Oh and I forgot to say he is only on the medication if its needed. I think they only gave it to her as they did not know what else to do. |

Hi and welcome to catsey. I would definately be inclined to seek a second opinion from another vet. The vet just shrugging off the suggestion, and not being willing to even consider it is definately not the way to be in my opinion. From what you have described it definately sounds like some form of seizure, and I don't really know if just chucking steroids at the cat is the right thing to do to be honest  surely controlling the situation in the first place would be better?xxxxx |
