Hi
I'm new here! I'm looking for some advice...
My 6 month old rescue had a seizure this morning. I took him to the emergency vet right away. He was lethargic post seizure but came around when we got outside.
His exam at the vet was normal but I opted for blood work anyways. The test showed elevated neutrophils which is likely a result of his upper respiratory infection. I have 1 other cats that have the feline respiratory herpes virus as they were adopted from the shelter.
The vet asked about diet and I have been transitioning Thompson to a raw diet. She isn't a fan of raw so wasn't too positive about that. I have been giving him pre made frozen meals that I buy locally. Www.buddiesnaturalpetfood.ca
I told the vet that the composition of the meals is 80% meat 10% organ and 10% bone. She disagreed and said that cats need more bone and less meat?? I've only been feeding the raw for a week and I've slowly been transitioning.
I am not sure what to do now.
It is possible that Thompson was running around and hit his head on the table, but the vet also said he could have toxoplasmosis.
I am super worried about him. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts?
His feline HIV and leukaemia was also negative.
Thanks
Tammy
