We got home from work last night and Oatmeal wasn't waiting to greet us when we got into the house. I went to put the food out for the strays we are feeding (this never fails to bring him running) and he doesn't appear. Ok now I'm getting a little nervous. GO upstairs, turn on the bedroom light and there he is curled up on the bed. He doesn't get up to greet me though...definitely panicking now. I walked over to pet him and still no real response. He didn't seem to want to get up. So I put my hands on his hind legs and tried to get him to stand up. He stood but then kind of just collapsed back down. MAJOR PANIC NOW!!! My husband came in and tried as well.Same results. SO off we go to the emergency vet. They did x-rays, blood work and so forth. Everything was normal. The determination was: either he jumped up onto/off of something and twisted or bruised something and was just not in the mood to move becaue it hurt or he had a seizure of some sort. The vet said that all we can do is keep an eye on him. The rule of thumb is 2 or more in a six month period and then they will start to look for a reason. He was definitely starting to act more like himself by the time we got home. He came up and slept on me as usual last night and this morning seemed pretty much back to normal. I don't mind saying I was terrified last night. Has anyone heard of anything like this?
