Because the seizures were so frequent, Trinity is on phenobarbital as of 4pm yesterday. 1/4 gr 2x a day… I’m going to have to buy some more chicken and turkey Whole Life Pet Products treats! Glad she’s not as hard to pill as her brother. The blood has been drawn for some more test so now we wait 3-4 days to hear the results. Wish I’d have asked if the Rx helps right away or needs a few days to build up in her system to stop the seizures.
They said the only thing I can do other than the Rx or more testing is reduce her stress. The only stress I can see is her brother. He’s been worse than normal lately. He keeps running her off wherever she’s at- especially her favorite spot on the PetFusion scratcher. Not sure if he senses something is wrong or just knows he can get away with it right now. Now I’m watching for seizures and any reactions to the new Rx. I’m trying to pad the floor under where she likes to lay in case she falls. I also want to know if the meds are working. See that bed she’s in? We’ve had it for years, but she just started using it again lately. She often burrows down in it where you have to stand over it to see her.

In addition to putting her back on grain free food instead of Rx c/d for crystals, I’d like to get them that new jumbo Pet Fusion scratcher so they each had a level unlike the one they keep fighting over. We have to pay the vet bills first so not sure if that’ll be their 8th birthday present next month or not.
I did read this after I was already wanting to put her back on grain free anyway. http://www.dontdieearly-book.com/a-surprise-cure-my-cats-idiopathic-seizure-disorder/#more-475
