Christofur is on Phenobarb too.. His previous person had been giving him some for about a week before he came to me.. before that he had no medication (that I know of; I've asked her for all his previous records, but she still hasn't come through with them). When my vet examined him on Monday she said he'd been getting 4 TIMES THE PROPER DOSE! So we are now giving him what he should get.
He's getting used to the new med level plus a completely new environment and way of life for the first time since he was born! This level of stress would easily add to the likelihood of triggering a seizure.
The vet now wants me to track any seizures he should have starting from yesterday's.. date, time, and duration. We will do our best to eliminate them completely but she said that's very hard to do.. we'll work to reduce them as much as possible.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
