Autocorrect changed my spelling of Prednisolone in my last post. Annoying. Yes, I have tried to taper him off the Pred but he starts to have spasms again. I try every couple of months. I'm currently trying again. It's Day 2. I will see.

EmilyRose, you said your cat appeared to have FHS which is often stress-induced, and treatable w/ anti-anxiety meds. These spasms are not related to stress; they NEVER stop except w/ the help of Epilepsy medication. Thank you for the info though, as I do have another cat w/ severe FHS and...

No, we never figured out what was wrong. He is still taking Phenobarbital and Prednisoline and doing well with that.

Omg! Yes, please share!!! I will definitely give this info to my specialist (neurology). My email is [email protected]. I don't remember the dose, but I know it was on the higher end. He almost died after three days. We had it in liquid form because the "pills" were damaging to the throat...

Yes, it was Doxycycline that almost killed him. It was horrible! He stopped breathing. I thought we had lost him:( I think it's a disease that has not been discovered. I have spent $30,000 looking for an answer and have consulted vets and specialists all over the world. I've researched...

This video is of my cat, Lycan. I had him checked for tick related diseases and he had exposure to Lyme. However the treatment for Lyme disease almost killed him, so we stopped. The vet is not convinced that he has Lyme disease, just that he has been exposed to it at one point in time. We have...

Bubbalove,  Yes, the phenobarbital and the prednisolone have stopped the spasms. I have tried to take him off both of the meds (at different times), and the spasms come back. So far, he is still going strong! I give him his meds twice a day (he loves taking them because I use Pill Pockets!)...

No, you were right. I did not see your post. I will check these groups out right away. Thank you very much:)

No I did not see this post! Thank you for tracking me down. lol. I will check out those groups right away. Thanks!

Yeah, Lycan definitely does not have Feline Hyperesthesia. He does not have the right symptoms for it. Still, we have no diagnosis for him. The good news is: THE FULL BODY SPASMS ARE GONE! Perhaps the phenobarbital has helped, or maybe it's a coincidence. But he is still having problems. His...

I'm going through the same thing with my cat:( They have no idea what's wrong with him. He is having constant muscle spasms, but other than that he seems okay. All tests come back normal. They can't find anything wrong, so they've concluded that it must be FIP. Who knows right? No one knows! So...

My cat Sylas pants when it's hot, or when he runs too much. He has Asthma and CH. I think the CH affects the Asthma because he has to work harder to walk. I would definitely take your cat to the vet to get checked for lung infections/Asthma/etc. Better safe than sorry. If he does has Asthma...

Thanks mrsgreenjeens:) Makes me feel better that someone else would make the same choice.

I feed him Whiskas Meaty Selection, and canned wet food. A mixture of the two. I'm planning on changing over to all wet food soon. And he was last vaccinated six months ago. No, I have not used any products on him. He does not have fleas/ticks/heartworm. 

Well after many tests, saying that there is nothing wrong with him, the Neurologist said that it's most likely FIP which is difficult to diagnose, and a death sentence. He said the only way to know for sure that it's not something else, is by giving him a brain fluid analysis, and he said that...

Is it the same thing? Is your cat better?

Is the magnesium still helping? Is my cat doing the same as your cat?

Okay, for everyone who says he is dreaming, he has these spasms when he is awake and sitting up too. It was just easier to video tape it while he was sleeping, because he always gets up when I bring the camera close to him. I have another video on youtube that shows this. Look up Diagnosis Still...

I brought him to the vet four times this month. I went a week ago, and I'm calling again tomorrow. They told me they would send him to a Neurologist if things didn't get better. But I'm afraid he's going to die while I wait for doctors to slowly figure it out! That is the medical system! And as...

My cat is having spasms constantly. His whole body seems to be affected. He is only 1! It's been a month now, and no one knows what is going on. He is still eating/drinking/using the litter box/playing, but every time he lies down, he is bothered by spasms! He is experiencing random bolts of...
