My kitteh had a focal seizure tonight.

[Laffy Kat]

She six years old and this was the first seizure that I have witnessed. It didn't last long and she is fine now. I'll get her to the vet on Monday for a work-up. This can't be good. From what I've been reading, focal seizures in cats often indicate a brain lesion. Sigh.

2. Healing vibes on the way to you both💕💕💕

Some years ago, I had a beloved Sheltie princess with seizures. It seems sometimes a raw or natural diet can help.

[Laffy Kat]

5. Thanks, SheltieLover. She is such a picky eater but I will absolutely look into it

8. Yw, Laffy!

3. My aunt had a dog who got seizures. She lived many years. They just gave her meds

and kept an eye on her and if she was outside, she was on a leash. Vibes to you and your kitty.

6. My first deaf rescue pup was also epileptic.

The seizures were so infrequent we didn't have to medicate which I am thankful for. She knew when she was going to have one and would seek either me or my husband out and sit in our laps until it was over. She lived to be 15 years old. I still miss that good gurl.

Thanks for the vibes.

10. What exactly is a focal seizure?

How would you tell it from other seizures?

[Laffy Kat]

11. She didn't lose consciousness or convulse.

First, she was doing weird things with her mouth, and then she pulled up one of her front legs and fell over.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Thank you for that information.

13. Hugs to you both and lots of healing energy

for your precious kitteh baby. Positive vibrations.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Thanks wendyb-NC!

I appreciate that.

14. My dachshund Dewey and I have been through medical issues.

Have faith. Dewey made it through a pit bull attack, a liver/Gall bladder/pancreas issue, and a neck injury. Our critters are resilient. Your love is a big part of her getting through this.

[Laffy Kat]

17. That's very true.

She is sleeping peacefully next to my head right now. I'm just curious what caused it.

[Gore1FL]

19. I can't answer that, for sure, but the whole "sleeping peacefully next to my head right now"

makes me melt.

My best wishes for good health to you and her.

16. Oh, I hope your kitty is OK.

My cat Shadow had some health issues, so I know what you may be going through. I worried about him like he was my child. In a way, he was my child.

[Laffy Kat]

18. Thank FuzzyRabbit.

Hopefully, I'll find out more on Monday. Yes, all my critters are my kids.
