Ita had a seizure last Friday and spent the night at the vet. I think the vet got a bit peeved because I left some printouts about epilepsy at his office. I truly didn't mean to offend him and thought that the information was very helpful. Doctor, my apologies.

Ita still had worms and got his deworming treatment (5th!). He was ok to take home the next day.

I was out of the office for most of today, and when I got back I found Ita listless, and panting. It could've been the heat because we left him near the window. He didn't play all day and missed one of his meals.

He had another seizure at 620pm today. I think this was the worst I've seen. He was bouncing off the sides of his cage while spasming. Gave him some Nutripet and took him to the vet, where they placed him on oxygen and inserted a catheter for intravenous feeding. Hypoglycemia suspected.

I'm worried and scared and sad. Although the frequency of the seizures is decreasing...the seizures seem more violent. I am enough of a hypochondriac to read up and do my research and realize the vet is taking the right steps, but it is really hard to see such a tiny kitty (or any pet, come to think of it) suffering :(

God please take care of Ita and make him stronger.
