My 21 year old cat

binky · 05-26-2009, 09:17 PM

My 21 year old cat just had a major seizure. Lasted about 5 minutes, complete with emptying his bladder. He seems okay now, not in any pain. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of thing?

Not me sorry, but I'd probably take him to the vet if I were in your shoes.

When it happened to my dog it turned out he had a brain tumor. The seizures were absolutely heart-breaking, he would howl like he was in deep pain as he was losing it.

My first dog was having seizures in the car as I was driving as fast as I could to get her to the vet. Not fast enough though but I was happy that I was able to provide her with some companionship in her last moments. Damn that was hard.

Take him to the vet ASAP.

Hopefully, it's nothing, but don't wait until it happens again.
A seizure sometimes is an indicator of a more serious problem.

Did not take him to the vet(simply could not afford it), he seems to be fine, actually mentally clearer than before ??

Aw, he was just testing you to see if you were paying attention.
