Trying to get information regarding a major
problem that our 10 year old Oriental 'Smoke' cat is experiencing .
We are
desperate !!.
Last month our cat had what I would describe as an EPILECTIC FIT ! .
His Registered name is ' SAITAN ASTARTI ' , as I have said he is ten
year's old , very strong , very LOUD , and very loved .
ASTI , as we call him , was asleep on my wifes lap when he slid onto
the floor !. His body went rigid and he shook from head to tail .
He eventually came round and was very distressed , as were we ! .
The vet was called and the next day various blood tests were taken.
The results showed that there were no problems with his liver or
kidney's and the vet , after various discussions informed us that the
problem migh't be with his brain , a tumour migh't be the cause !.
A course of Barbuturits was prescribed although the best option would
be a CDC scan at the GLASGOW UNIVERSITY SCHOOL of VET's .
An appointment has been made for the scan.
We would be gratful if you could respond with any experience of this
problem
within the breed .
