Nacho's Medical Care

Today is the second time Nacho was sleeping, and then out of nowhere he started having a seizure. I need to take him to a vet so they can find out what's wrong. I just went to this website which has information on seizures in cats, and Nacho is definitely showing the symptoms of epilepsy. He is going to need treatment, blood tests, brain scans, and epilepsy medicine for the rest of his life... http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2118&aid=224 "Epilepsy is a disorder of recurring seizures. Seizures are described as an uncoordinated firing of the neurons usually within a portion of the brain called the cerebrum. The mechanisms of why these neurons do not function normally in epileptic cats is not understood, but is similar if not identical to the causes in humans. Probably certain substances called neurotransmitters are not in the proper chemical balance, so the nerves do not behave in the normal coordinated fashion. A cat with epilepsy will exhibit periodic bouts of uncoordinated firing of the neurons within the brain. These episodes are called seizures and occasionally are referred to as convulsions or "fits."
