    Some CH'ers do have seizures. Dr, Gott that sees Amy a lot has a friend that has has a CH kitty that sounds to have the same level of CH that Christofur has and he has seizures. Dr. Gott always asks me tons of questions about Amy whenever he sees her, just gathering infromation to better educate himself on CH and the different levels of it and possiably find out something that can help his friend.

    I would just love that baby to pieces as much and as hard as I could so he would know he is loved and give him the best quality life he could have.

    This sweet boy is lucky to be in your hands. I hope his CH is manageable and that he can adapt over time. And that the seizures don't continue.

    Thank you so much for the good wishes and prayers.

    I will write more after we see the vet. I was told he has had seizures before but had not seen one yet.

    What a sweet boy! He is so lucky to have found you. I hope he'll get better and be able to use see properly and use his legs more with time.

    Sending lots of positive thoughts - please give him some kisses from me.

    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.

    Big, big prayers for this sweet orange tabby kitty. Meowmie, could you please give him a snuggle for me?
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I'm holding him in my arm as I write.. he's all wrapped up in a soft, snuggly blanket, and resting happily. More snuggles delivered!
