Momo just had a seizure! He's never had a seizure b4, it last a short 5-7 sec but it feels like it lasted a lot longer. I gave him some homemade chicken broth & he was lapping it up so fast, then all of a sudden he collapsed on his side & all his 4 legs were flailing wildly like he was dying! He recovered right away & even ran to Princess' bowl & finished her broth. He's acting fine, like nothing happened. I'll be making an appt tomorrow to take him in tomorrow or Wed (depending if there's room), he needs to have a recheck for the struvite crystals too. Could it be his kidneys? What do I have to look out for? Is this an emergency situation? I'm really trying not to freak out right now...I am so scared!:( |
oh my gosh...how scared you must have been! I am sure someone will post advice soon. I just wanted to send you a hug across cyber space and tell you that Momo is in my prayers, Jenny! |
Can't say for sure, as it's his first... are his pupils equal and reactive (to light) yes=good, no= go to vet Gums pink no= go to vet If he has another= go to vet |

Oh Jenny, I would be terrified. I am sending prayers up for Momo that he is okay and this was just a one time thing and hugs and prayers for you also. Very scary. |
I'm trying not to google, but found this link from my vet's website: 01 Seizures / Convulsions - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company! In general, animals less than one year of age typically have seizures due to a birth defect such as hydrocephalus (water on the brain) or a liver defect called a portosystemic shunt (among others). Animals that have their first seizure between 1 and 5 years of age typically suffer from epilepsy, while those over 5 years of age often have another medical condition causing the seizures such as a brain tumor, stroke or low blood sugar. Momo is 6 years old & it was not low blood sugar.:( I'm not going to read anymore tonight...1st thing, will make an appt in the morning. Quote:

I'll pray too, Jenny! How terribly scary for you and Momo. Yes...sometimes it's best not to Google things like this. Hugs to you! It must be a good sign that it only lasted a short time? |
Oh Jenny. I'm so sorry. I know nothing about what could be wrong with little Momo. But I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you & keeping our fingers crossed. Yoshi & Momo send puppy hugs and kisses. Please keep us updated. :love: |
i hope momo is ok and you find out what happened or why when you get a vet visit. many prayers and a hug to you. |
Hoping that Momo is okay, update when you get back from the vet. Will be praying for you. |
Poor Momo. Don't google! Epilepsy would be a diagnosis only after anything/everything is ruled out with proper testing. Sorry you had to experience this. It's so frightening :( |
Praying Momo is ok. Let us know what the vet says. |
Praying for Momo and you. Please keep up posted on what the vet says. |
Praying for both of you |
