I think my Lucy had a Stroke or a Seizure

Oh my, I am so sorry hear this. I hope that Lucy will be okay. Many prayers coming your way from me and the girls in Indiana.

What happened to Lucy sounds something like what happened to my Tabitha about 4 years ago. (She was 14 then!) It was morning, and she always would jump from the bed when I would get up. But that morning, she just layed there, with something of a blank stare on her face. She wouldn't move. I sat beside her and gently stroked her and kept gently saying her name over and over. I was sooooo scared, I thought my heart would pound out of my chest! I carried her downstairs and layed her on the couch. Again, she just layed there when normally she would have headed straight for the kitchen for food. I wrapped her in a blanket, called the office to tell them I would be late, if in at all, and off to the vet we went. They took her right away, and by that time she was meowing, some purring, etc. The vet found her red blood cell count was slightly elevated, and she had a very slight fever, but other than that, she was fine! She even walked around the room and jumped onto a chair and then onto a shelf! He thought she may have had a mini stroke. He told me to go home and he suggested I stay with her all day to keep an eye on her. I have never seen another episode!

I hope and pray that your outcome is as good as ours! Please keep us posted!

Edited to add:And I don't mean to "hijack" this thread....but I just have to also say that when I called my boss, I was crying, as I was so scared and had no idea what was happening. When Tabitha and I came out of the exam room, there sat my boss, patiently waiting, just in case I needed a shoulder to cry on. Isn't that GREAT????? I am so lucky to have such a caring boss!
