....many serial killers start off by torturing small animals, before they graduate to carving people up and storing them in the freezer.
I thought it was a much harder profession to get into than that!

My kitten is having fits. What to do?

Afternoon,
We had a cat that used to suffer from fits, he was treated with phenobarbitone that used to be given twice a day. It took a while to sort the dosage out, but once it was sorted it was extremely rare for him to have a fit (from at least once a week) but we had him for fifteen years and he was great, cost a fortune but as long as he wasn't suffering no other options were for us.
On a practical note, try and get insurance that treats for the life of the pet.
Sad to see the furry chap go.

Our 14 year old cat had several fits over a couple of months last spring. We thought it was a sign he was coming to the end of his life but he's been fine since so maybe just an unexplained 'phase'?

Monksie - you should know better than to make mean jokes about cats on the internet. Fat people, poor people, ugly people - all fair game. But kittens? Don't even go there.

The point someone made earlier about flea drops is true, have you been using the ones you can buy anywhere, rather than the proper ones from the vets?

Her ears are fine according to the vet. She reckons poor silly thing might have a genetic "fault", we'll see.
Kona, he kitten, gets her tablets twice daily, seems fine at the moment. I don't care about the cost, I don't need to drive if there's not enough for her meds. Insurance, good idea, sadly almost impossible here. We'll look into it.Posted 1 year ago # -
off to give my "kitten" (actually 12) a bit of love
Ahem - and did your 12 year old 'kitten' enjoy this loving?

I really feel for the poor cat, & indeed the OP, but I don't believe the responses on this thread, I guess I can live with cleaning the screen of beer, but some people really need to take a step back & take things in context, some of the replies were F'ing funny.
Anyway,

It's just probably what I'd do with it. That's just me though.A friend of mine spent £2k on an MRI scan for their cat. It died 3 weeks later. They have another cat now. Not a f**king chance I'd spend that sort of money on a cat!!
Surely a CAT scan would be better ?
Cat Scan
A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead.
The man is clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, and demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat, and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too."
The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. The vet brings in a Black Labrador. The Lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead, too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man!
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."
Sorry
