My cat (2yo neutered DSH male) had been vomiting more than usual for a couple months. The vet suspected he might have developed an allergy/intolerance and suggested to change his food to a novel protein diet, which I didn't do at the time. Instead, I changed his dry food to a limited ingredient diet food and kept his regular wet food.
A month ago he woke me up as he was yowling in pain. He then vomited and started having a seizure (he was convulsing violently). I rushed him to the ER and they did a physical exam and found nothing. This happened three more times following the same sequence: yowling - vomiting - seizure. The seizures are 1-2 weeks apart. We've done blood work and ultrasounds and everything seems to be normal. I have a neurology referral for him that I'm waiting on, but it could be a month before we get an appointment.
His poop also smells and has a mixed consistency (firm and liquid at the same time), so he was put on a purely novel protein diet since we are not sure if the food/ vomiting has something to do with the seizures. He's not liking the new food so much or eating a lot of it and is sleeping more than usual now.
There was one time when I was away for a couple nights and he was grooming himself on top of the fridge and rolled over and fell. I couldn't see how he landed because of the camera angle but he seemed to be doing well after, and my neighbor who was looking after him didn't notice anything weird. He doesn't seem to exhibit any symptoms or lack of coordination.
I'm very distraught right now and feeling very helpless. I'm open to any thoughts or suggestions while I wait for his neurology consult. Thank you and sorry for the long post.
