Thanks in advance for your help.
About a year ago Allie (now 11, she is a very tiny cat (only about 6 lbs...but like this her whole life), started have seizures (really scarey) so I took her to the vet and she is now on phenobarb for life. While there they discovered she also had thyroid issues (I have been reading alot about this tonight). Anyway, she is on meds for this too and all has been great for this past year......until this past month.
Allie has had a few very small seizures (hard to even tell really, but I know her so well) and I have also noticed changes in her behavior....lots of drinking, sometimes eats little sometimes wants more, weird walking (but not on honks), Looks thinner lately, but the strangest was last night....she was sleeping on my lap and when I got up to give her her meds, I was wet. She had peed on me and didn't even know it was happening. Then, about 5 minutes later I had her laying on the couch and she got up and looked at me (kind of out of it like) and then there was pee on the couch. Only a little, but enough. I took her to her box right away (downstairs) and she peed in it for awhile. One more thing, I have noticed a change in her eyes. They are now different colors. They both used to be green and now her left one is gold and when she looks at you in a light, it looks like it is glowing red.
I am calling the vet to bring her in this morning. Does any of this sound like anything any of you have experienced? I am having a hard time imagining here not here some day...especially when she looks like a young kitten but I can tell she is going down hill fast.
Thanks and sorry this is so long....tjb
