I am so sorry to hear that! We had a FIV+ cat that had a seizure from the build-up of toxins, and she cried...we rushed her to the emergency clinic - she was fine afterwards, never had another seizure - but it's frightening when you see it. My vet said that she didn't have any pain while she had the seizure and probably didn't even remember it. Seems that FIV is a much less serious disease than FeLV - my two boys are so healthy, but I'm sure that eventually, they will be sivck, too - that's why I am researching the hydrogen peroxide therapy for them and my 5 FIV+ boys.

Lane Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Peroxide therapy RE: STROKE - My Shorty was having a series of strokes. He woke me up around 4 AM screaming. Never want to hear that sound again. I took him to the emergency vet that is open all night. We had to put him down as he was having strokes every 5 minutes and the doctor said enough damage had been done that he would not recover. I just could not stand listening to him scream. It might have been different if the vet thought he could do something for him and bring him out of it. ---- "Gloria B.
