Hello Mirna,
hopefully, things will get under control - remember jars of human baby food and chicken (not canned) broth help with eating. Hopefully, your vet will come on board with what Amani suggests - and Amani really knows about this. Best of luck and your kitty cats are in my thoughts and prayers Sandy W > On April 23, 2018 at 7:03 PM Amani Oakley <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Mirna > > > > It is a bit difficult to determine why your little boy may be having > seizures. > > > > With all the things he has on board (FeLV, possible worms, infection, not > eating) I would contemplate that some of his levels (like calcium or > magnesium) may be low.
