Hi, Sorry to hear about your cat - FHS can become very severe - but my cat is doing well on the new meds she is on - she now only has occassional problem. We hope she will continue to do better. If you want anymore information I would be happy to answer any questions - you can now PM me as I...

Boo was diagonosed with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome and was put on Phenobarbitol which did not work. Then she was put on Calmicalm which made her extremly tired, however we kept her on it for 6 weeks and by the 5the 5th week her twitching and halucinations were much better and she is beginning...

So far the medication they have Boo on has been working ( its been a week) she has very little twitching in the back - not even once a day and absolutly NO phantom eating. She is on Cholicalm. the only thing is she is really tired on this drug. does anyone know anything about this drug - will...

We are going to give this drug a chance to work and if it does not...then I will have to do the hardest thing I have ever done and put Boo down so she does not suffer. I can't watch her get worse and I can't let her suffer.

We are going to try her on this new drug Cholimicalm( sp?) and see if it helps. Right now she is so sleepy from it that she is not twitching or having fits at all...but once she gets used to it who knows. My husband is very hopeful that it will work - I am not so much. I think that it may be...

We tried Phenobarbital on Boo for almost a month and it is know longer working despite being at theraputic levels. So now we are trying her on Cholicalm. The vet thinks that she has a brain lesion that is getting worse. She was only twitching at the back end now it has moved to the front end...

We went to the vets today and she said that the Phenobarbital was at theraputic levels so it is not working. We have another medication to try...however the episodes are getting worse and the vet said that we may want to consider putting her down if this medication does not work. She feels that...

Anyone have any experience with Seizures in cats. They think Boo is having seizures. If anyone has a cat who has chronic seizures any information you could give me would help. Thanks - my cat is having twitching episodes about 6-10 times a day with phantom eating ( eating things that are not...

I took Boo to the vets last night for Blood Work to see the levels of the drugs in her system. the vet believes that she is having a Partial Seizure because during these episodes of twitching, they are followed by Panthom Eating. basically she eats things off the floor that are not there. So...

If the food that Boo was on was causing her to twitch, and I put her on new food ( Low Perservatives) on Sunday how long before I notice change in her twitching. So far she is twitching more and more. The phenabarbitol is not working obviously, so I will be taking her off of that.

I guess I was concerned about the aluminum. But maybe I am being over cautious. Tks,

Okay this is a strange question, but I am sitting wondering if this may be the cause of my cat twitching. My cat loves to play with beer caps from beer bottles. She loves the sound of them against the floor and loves to bring them to us and have us toss them and she will fetch them and bring...

Hi I am mixing it with her other food right now and giving a little bit at a time. the food is expensive $2.39 for a small tub which should last her two or three days, but I think it is worth it. I've learned so much about cat food on this site. I never knew that some of them were better then...

Anyone use Solid Gold dry food? Wondering if it is any good.

I just put my pet on Pets 4 Life raw frozen food. So far she likes it. You may want to try that food. I putting her on it because of a twitching problem which we believe may be related to allergies to food. we also have her on Solid Gold dry food.
