Just joined last night. I have a male cat named Tux that my brother found in the a dumpster last August(03'). The vet said that they thought he was 5 weeks old when we got her.

Tux was fine until May of this year. One afternoon he had a seizure and we took him to the vet. Vet ran all the tests etc. and finally realized that he has toxoplasmosis. They put him on medicine for that. He continued to have seizures so they put him on phenobarbital.

He has tested negative twice for FELV. However, his white blood cell count and his platelet count have been low each time. Likewise, the toxo levels have remained the same. This leads me to believe that he may have FELV since he can't fight the toxo. He acts normal except for after the seizures. He has never been outside since we have had him.

I know that seizures in cats are not that common. The longest he has gone without one is 6 weeks. Lately it is every 10 days or so. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any similar situations.

John
