Yesterday morning around 5:00am, our 17 yr old spayed feline had a seizure. It lasted no more than 2 minutes and then she had what appeared to be a blindness for about 5-10 minutes. After about 1 1/2 hrs she had a regular bowel movement and urine in the litter, and then proceeded to drink some water and eat a little turkey baby food. I called our vet as soon as they opened and he was here within a few hours. He said that her lungs were strong, eyes looked good, heart murmur no worse (stage 2-3) than it has been and looked recoved overall. Of course we could proceed with bloodwork, tests, etc...but I really do not want to put her through that at her age and we really do not have the money. Our vet believes (without testing) that possibly a small piece of clot broke loose and caused this or possibly a brain tumor (I guess seizures are one of the first symptoms). She has had no further seizures to this point.
As I looked over the past few week or so with her I now recall that she was sleeping more than usual and not eating as much as normal..her daily activity was way down. Today she is totally back to her old self, eating many small meals throughout the day, drinking her normal amount of water, cleaning herself, and very alert walking around the house with me. Has anyone had a similiar experience? Any suggestions?
