I think my Lucy had a Stroke or a Seizure

[catfamily]

[QUOTE=Catlady711]Sorry to hear about Lucy. Is she an older cat? I hope this was just a one time incident with no other problems.
Strokes are not as common in animals as siezures are.


Thank You...And Also...Thank You everyone again.She is about 5 years old.
About strokes being more common...I figured that but for some reason I thought a stroke because there was no shaking at all.Just spacey eyes head moving in slow motion and her arms moving in slow motion not know what to do with her arms in a lay on front side position sitting up relaxing the same way she was before it happened.She was awake when it happened,no shaking or even nor did she move her body to the side.And...I as I said earlier..I notce a tired change in her face and personally ,I thought her paws looked thicker(front).Heart problem people get fluid in their paws(I wish I went to school to be a vet specialist in my youth).Also she seems weaker now.Reason:She does not struggle hard enogh when I pick her up to get down.She loves to be picked up for attention but quickly rushes to get down for me to follow her anywhere or just to pat her while she scratches our wall scratcher.She's so adorable and loveable(a bit jealous).But basically loves everyone and super gentle and fun loving.
She followed me again to sit by me while typing.Here she is now with me.I just now took this and put it in photobucket.

I want everyone to know I am writing all possibilities from you guys and possible meds to throw out to the vet also.He knows I belong to pettalk so he won't mind me telling him everyone's thoughts.I REALLY appreciate it everyone.

I called the vet and the lady I talked to had said to watch her and see if it happens again.She really doesn't know if it's a stroke or a seizure.She said if she's fine,I don't have to bring her in but if it happens more often...bring her in.And she also said it's very hard to give meds out (or know her life span)when they just don't know what it could be,unless we know where it happened in the brain.So unless I spend a ton of money (that I don't have) in otherwords.Probably useless money spent too.
I'll just keep a very close eye on her and(keep her very calm).
I want to thank everyone for all their info,and positive thoughts/prayers/hugs.I appreciate it very much.

Gosh Carla, I am JUST NOW seeing this thread!!!! I am so sorry I missed it yesterday! Remember that Tabitha had this same thing happen a week or two ago? The vet told me the same thing .... just document whenever it happens and if it starts happening regularly, like monthly or more often, they will just put her on some medication. Try not to worry, honey!!!

HUGS,
Kim
