Forgot to mention that I got on video the tail end of the previous seizure, and it appears to be grand mal. He defecates and/or urinates during it, and afterwards cries and has a string of spittle hanging out of his mouth. I'm afraid the vet would put him on a med that would do more harm than...
They did mention they were going to check his thyroid with that blood test. Right now with the lock-down I can't even be with him while he's examined; just hand him over at the door. But I will take him if he has another sooner rather than the usual (months) later. Thanks!
Hi, all. My 13-year-old male cat has been having seizures, usually months apart, but had one last night just a day short of 3 weeks since the last.
When he had his first one early last year I took him to the vet, he had blood work, but they couldn't find anything wrong. I've heard that the...
For anyone interested . . . I wound up using Camrosa Ointment and all his fur returned. I didn't even use it for very long, only about a week, but he hated my applying it on him, so since it's kinda' greasy I removed what I could with a damp rag and stopped. Good stuff!
Forgot to mention . . . the cat who does the mounting doesn't move either - no humping, just holds still like he forgot why he was mounting in the first place. ;)
My 2 male neutered cats do this as well - 1 will suddenly mount the other with a mouth-grip to the neck. The one mounted just holds still and nothing happens until the mounted one shoves them off (could take a while).
One does it right after making "biscuits" on me - he'll jump off and then...
Thanks . . . if he hadn't been tested for and had confirmation for ringworm by the vet I'd be looking into whether he's licking excessively, etc, but it definitely was ringworm. Luckily my other cat didn't get it. The vet mentioned that maybe his immune system was weak when he was exposed, I...
Comb-over - :lol:
I just feel bad for him that he's missing his belly fur, especially since he's long-haired. If it never grows back of course that won't affect my love for him one iota, but if there's something I can do I'd like to know.
Thanks for your reply.
I was wondering if my Bailey was a Maine Coon mix, as that is my favorite breed and he resembles one. DNA test results were Russian Blue/Maine Coon. I don't see the RB at all unless it's just in body structure/musculature.
He's now 2 years old and 12 lbs, so certainly doesn't have the large...
