Our poor ginger boy is 10 years old. He has always been in great health, small and athletic.
On weds night I was outside and at about 10pm he started howling like I've never heard him before. It was so strange, he was pacing around the garden and just howling. He calmed down eventually and was absolutely fine the next day.
Over the next couple of days he would randomly do these howls but be fine, checked him to see if it was pain, was eating, drinking and purring.
Come 2am Sunday morning and he had a full on (what we think) seizure, it was very distressing to watch. We phoned the out hrs but by that time he had settled down and was asleep so we didn't want to disturb him.
We took him straight to our vet on Sunday. They took bloods and sent him home.
Last night, in the middle of the night, he had another episode but not so bad and not so long. He was very lethargic today and at about 1pm he had another massive fit/episode and we rushed him to the vet and he is still there.
They are very weird episodes, he starts darting around uncontrollably, banging himself into things, panting, shaking. Today he bit his own leg and then when he was coming round he just kept falling over.
The bloods came back normal so the vets don't know what it is. We are, unfortunately, uninsured so can't afford an MRI (£4000), and obviously feel awful about that.
Has anyone had experience with this? We are so concerned about it happening over and over as it seems it is clustering. We have a 7 year old who is being assessed for Autism and is finding all this very distressing.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
