Well today was the visit to the neurologist…which also included an MRI, a spinal tap, two sedations, and a bottle of pills.

It was a long day!! We started in Dublin this morning at 8:30am, then it was off to Redwood City for the MRI appt at 1:30pm, and then back to Dublin for MRI results and a spinal tap. They found a couple of spots on the MRI that may be something, but they are very symmetrical and on either side of the pituitary, so they aren’t sure. We’ll get the final read tomorrow. We’ll also get the results of the spinal tap tomorrow as well. BUT the vet thinks it is probably epilepsy (no other underlying cause) which means she also gave us a bottle of Phenobarbital which could be a long term thing. Giving a cat pills is NOT an easy task…especially this one…and they want us to give her 2 a day. This ought to be fun.

She’s running around the house like a crazy cat…she’s still coming off the anesthesia and whatever it was they gave her to calm her down. She’s pretty pathetic looking. They had to shave her in multiple spots for all the work they did, so I think she has 4 shaved patches.
