Jack is on a high dose of medication and even with that he still has fits approx once a month
Merlin, do you have to take Buzz for 6 monthly blood tests? |

Its called Pexion, works well for Buzz but my vet did say for there it has been less successful, as will all meds I guess.
Buzz just had horrid side effects to Phenobarbital, was worse than no meds really!

Well it looks like splodge has epilepsy, he has been fine for a couple of weeks after the 2 bad fits and then had another bad fit yesterday, fortunately ryan and dee were there and they placed cushions around him so he couldnt hurt himself, dee was talking to him while he went through it, their other cat secky was sniffing him all over, he does have the foaming of the mouth and wetting himself, poor splodge. They weren't upset like the had been when they first saw it, they have read lots of information and watched videos, and are coming to terms with it.
he has been eating, drinking fine, but has lost a little weight, my son said he is a right git when he is naughty haha, so he is fine other than the epilepsy x

That's a shame Bev, poor Splodge. It sounds as if your son and his partner have prepared themselves well to cope with the fits though.
