Hi guys...it has been a long time since I have been around, but I really need some good vibes right now.
One of my ginger twins, Maddie, is not well and I am sick with worry. Aside from being diagonsed with HCM this last month, he has also been experiencing "fits" the last month and a half. At first it was just a random one...then two days later another. He was fine for a bit (but he could have been having them when we were asleep, at work etc) and we took him to the vet when they had started, and he didn't know what the cuase could be, and to keep an eye on him. Well, now he is having them every day, and has had 4 in the last 24 hours. We have an appt. for 2:10 this afternoon, and I am just so sad, as I do not know what is ailing him, but it cannot be good. When he has his "fits" he seems to lose awareness, his back legs get rubbery to where he cannot walk well or use them at all...he lays down on the ground and gets very rigid, and scrunches his face up. He usually draws one paw up (or extends the same paw as if reaching for something) and he purrs very loudly. Then, within a min or two, he is fine. He seems tired but can get up and play and is his usual self, for the most part. They are happening alot now, and I don't know why. I am worried that the vet will not know, either.
So...any thoughts or vibes you all could send our way would be great. I am so scared that we are going to lose him, I am just sick right now with worry.
