Has anyone else's CRf cat done this? Max spent the whole afternoon and the early part of this evening lying still, breathing badly, eyes black and very tense. AFter his SEB and fluids I gave him Zylkene and a few hours later he came to sit with me very suddenly, then had a big drink, walked better, I could see his eye colour and he has had a little meal. It seems like a toxin related, prolonged panic attack - a version of what he had yesterday.
I just hope he can stay calm tonight and am wondering how to handle this as when he is feeling better he's a different cat. It's like an attack. We thought the end was here tonight he was so miserable. Now he is back to how he was this morning.
Is this something that toxins cause? His urea is high at 30 odd. I am going to give him Zylkene from now on. I have a 1ml syringe of diazepam for seizure emergencies but I don't want to use that unless I have to. My own vet doesn't know Zylkene so was hesitant about my using it. The locum knows it and said to give it to him.
