| 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 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. Thank you for your prayers, it means so much!

| 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.

| 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
