missroserose | Sick kitty update

We got an emergency appointment at the vet for Mr. Jerry Brown today; they did blood work and didn't find anything seriously out of whack. His potassium levels were a bit low, though, so they're keeping him under observation and giving him an IV to try and get things back in balance. Assuming nothing goes wrong, we'll have him back by the end of the day; if he starts seizing again, though, they'll be able to give him antispasmodics.

So, the bottom line is, we don't know what caused it, so we're taking the wait-and-see approach. Fortunately he doesn't appear to have suffered any lasting damage; he was a little wobbly on his feet this morning, but once we took him to the vets he was investigating the exam room just fine. If it happens again we can get him on medication; otherwise, I guess it'll be just one of those weird things.

I'm relieved that he seems to be okay, and I'm glad the vets are keeping an eye on him, but I can't help but worry a bit. Dexter's been even more demanding of attention than usual; I think he's worried too.

Many thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts. It's comforting.
