Fitting elderly cat
Hi, we have a tabby female cat which is 16 years old. Since last year she has been having fits. She started off with only 2 in a year but up to date has had 3 within 7 months. She will be sitting on the sofa, her head will look up in a strange way, she then falls violently off the sofa and seems to run for a short distance where she stops and then fits. She shakes badly then wee's. I just hold her still and stroke her. She is taking longer to come around and then howls for a short while, poor thing is dazed and takes around 10 minutes to be aware of her surroundings. She then drinks a lot.
We have spoken to the vet about this but the cost would be too high and we just cannot afford it.
Has anyone else experienced this in their cats?
We did take in a stray cat about the time it all started, would this cause her to stress?
Thanks in advance
Gary
