cat-stress

[tamaranth]

having a much quieter day today, and was feeling calm and in control until just now when Shiva had a violent seizure (second one ever: first was after traumatic vet experience).
Have phoned vet and am taking her in tomorrow morning for check (not this afternoon in case it causes further stress). She's sitting on my lap, purring like mad but still rather wobbly and unhappy. Also, she is dribbling gluey fluid onto me (ewww).
Sofa for the rest of the afternoon, I think: writing can wait.

Oh dear. Poor Shiva. If she's been vomiting a lot it could be related to that - dehydration perhaps?

Good luck tomorrow.

Dehydration a possibility: vet also raised spectre of kidney problems, which is pretty much a death sentence at her age. She has always been prone to vomitting but yesterday was something else -- she seems to have been ok today but maybe I just haven't found it yet!

Thanks for good wishes, will post post-vet.
