Any vets out there

[Mouldz]

If there are any vets that can give me some answers,We have a kitten about 6 months old ,she is one of the offspring of our other cat.On Sunday morning we find her lying on the floor in a spasm like someone having epileptic fit ,anyway i pick her up and put her on the couch and when I leave for work she seems a bit better ,just slight twitching like someone with Parkinsons,last night she still had this involuntary twitching of her whole body but she could walk or stagger to go and eat and drink.This morning she is hundred percent.
My mom in law reckons she might have a spinal injury ,I have never seen anything like it ,I reckon she was bitten by a spider or something

Thanx I will have a look into that ,she did sustain a head injury while she was been born ,the mother jumped off the chair with the kitten half way out and she bashed her head on the floor

Sounds alot like the simptons my cat had after it ran head on into my Jack Russel. Vet said it was concussion. Have a look at the cats pupils and if it is rapidly going bigger and smaller it is most likely concussion. Confine the space that the cat walks in and make sure there is nothing to fall from in that area.

Mouldie, it could be a number of things ranging from brain injury during birth to viral infection.

If your cat continues with this spasming and it arches it head almost back onto its spine, with its paws out streached in front of it stiff. This could indicate Feline meningitis. Which is pretty infectious.

Your best bet is to take the little bundle of fluff into your local vet and have it checked up.

The blood cultures are a bit pricey though

Might be poison. Saw a cat drinking water with domestos in. It had the same simptoms. Give it charcoal to it helps a lot
