Missy, my cat that is about 16 years old and diabetic, has been in slow decline this week so I had an appointment for her to see the vet today since she has not been eating on her own very well since Wednesday.  She decided she did not want to wait to see the vet and started having seizures last night so around 3:30am today so off to the emergency clinic we went.  She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s home now, doing much better than she was, but is still going back to the vet this afternoon since even though we did the fill panel of blood tests it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not really clear why she was seizing.  <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully Amber\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf woke us up when Missy was having seizures and we were able to get her to the vet in time. <\/p>\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also a really good thing I went back to work at my regular day job since this makes two urgent care type visits in less than a week and vet care is not cheap. <\/p>\n<p>Here is Missy at the vet&#8217;s office after they gave her kitty Valium to help calm the seizures and let her rest. She was knocked out pretty flat. It&#8217;s nearly 6 hours later and she is still walking like a drunk person.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_0653.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_0653-294x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0653\" width=\"294\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_0653-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/www.perlgurl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_0653.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so hard to watch our pets get old.
