Severus had a seizure at 10pm.
He just fell sideways off the windowsill and scrabbled around on the floor for what seemed like ages but was only about 10 seconds before I rushed over to him and grabbed him. He couldn't stand up, he just lay on his stomach, grabbing onto the carpet as if he was going to fall off his tongue coming out and his head waving from side to side. It was terrifying. I held him for a couple of minutes until he started to struggle and then he stood up - still a little wobbly - and went outside. I sat and worried horribly - went outside and called - but couldn't find him and then 30 mins later he trotted back in, as right as ninepence.
REALLY SCARY. And yes, I'm taking him straight to the vet on Monday morning. I have no idea if he's had one before, as I work full-time. Thanks to
gehayi for finding me this page, which at least reassures me I'm doing the right thing. Here's hoping they do bloodwork and it's managable by pills. Thank god my dad will help me with the expense.
I've never had a sick cat before, other than RTAs and it's very daunting. Wish us luck.
This picture btw is NOT him having a seizure, but merely yawning - or, doing his Isaac from Heroes impression.
