URGENT! My cat needs a CT scan.

Hi. I am looking for some advice regarding my cat. She is 8 years old and has always been healthy and active. Yesterday however she started taking seizures. These are happening every 20 minutes so I took her to the vet this morning. They have kept her in and ran all sorts of blood tests and x-rays, only to find nothing wrong. They have come to the conclusion that the problem must be neurological. Whilst the vet has said we can have a brain scan done, she has also said it wont change the outcome and that she will probably need to be put to sleep. Has anyone ever put their cat through a CT scan? And if so, is there a chance that it may diagnose something which is treatable? The seizures only last about a minute and its as if she has no control over her movements. She is rolling about on the floor then getting up and falling over. She seems fine afterwards but the frequency of these are making her very tired. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have to give the vet my decision in the morning. Thank you.

I have a 14 year old Siamese female. She had been getting sick. The Vet has done blood work and an X-ray. Lady is losing protein. And still getting sick occasionally. The vet wants to do a scan. I have already spent $650.00. The scan will cost $320.00. It will determine one of several health problems that are treatable with meds or cancer. If she has cancer I will let her go. Do I go ahead and do the scan? I do not have cat health insurance.

Zombie thread. But one of mine had Ct scans because she kept dislocating her jaw. This is her.

She says she is a fearsome sabre toothed tiger! Scans were worth it as we got the answers we needed and problem is fixed. Insurance footed the bill.
