Hello all! Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Our 10 year old neutered male kitty Nefarian has been having “episodes” for about 2 to 3 weeks. During these episodes he will start to have face twitching, act disoriented or scared, and either stumble or fall over. This lasts maybe 15 to 30 seconds and then he’s back to normal. When it first started, he also had diarrhea.
We took him to the family vet, who took blood work and gave him meds for the diarrhea, but wasn’t concerned about the episodes. The diarrhea stopped but the episodes continue. The blood work came back and they said everything looked okay.
We have an appointment with a different vet in 2 weeks to try to figure why he is having these episodes. While they do only last about 15 to 30 seconds, he falls over and has fallen off the bed and chair during these episodes.
Any idea what this could be? I have included links to 2 videos of these face twitches that occurs during the episode. The videos are not the best because whenever he starts having an episode I just run over to him to try to make sure he doesn’t fall over.
