Hi people. I am hoping I can get some answers here. I am sure you have read many articles in here about cat seizure. My 2 1/2 year old cat Rhiley has been with me since he was 6 weeks old. He has already been through 8 lives. When he was just over a year old he fell off the 11th floor balcony. He broke his leg and had to have it re constructed and have a rod put in. The doctor did a good job. You would never know he has had a re built leg!
Anyways, recently we had to take him and his brother's to my mothers because my wife became allergic to them due to her pregnancy. They have been there before. The only difference now though is he is soooo afriad of my younger sister. He get's so afraid and I don't know why. He does not like her. The first time I seen this was when she was at my place before we had to move them. On Monday morning I noticed Rhiley acting a little wierd all of a sudden. He looked confused and disorented. Then he tensed right up. Right away I went to him. I thought he was chocking but he seemed to be breating. He was not having convulsions. He was just so stiff and un responsive. His eyes were dialated as well. It lasted for about 40 sec. then he was fine. He was himself for the rest of the day. I guess he had another episode yesterday. It didn't sound as sever according to my mother. I am wondering what would all of a sudden cause this to happen to a healthy cat. Could stress do something like that and also I know poinsetta's a poisonous to cats, could that cause seizures if he ate some? I do know that he always tries to eat plastic shopping bags as well. What do you think.
