A BUMP IN THE ROAD OF MAE'S LIFE JOURNEY

We have had a rather tough beginning to December, 2016.

My purpose in sharing our news of Mae Mobley's recent

health development, is that it may possibly help others.

Or...perhaps a dear reader of Estelle's has experienced the same

issue with their adult cat.

Mae has been diagnosed with

Idiopathic Epilepsy.

She began drooling a few times per day

about two weeks ago.

Then it progressed to drooling and becoming

incontinent simultaneously.

This is when I made her an appointment

at the veterinarian. 

The afternoon she was to have her appointment,

she experienced a Grand Mal seizure.

This was frightening and very upsetting to all three of us.

Luckily it occurred thirty minutes prior to her appointment.

Mae is NOT a good patient.

However, it was progress that she

willingly came out of her carrier and 

let the darling assist in weighing her

without anyone getting scratched.

They had to put her to sleep for about

five minutes in order to draw blood

for comprehensive lab tests.
All of her test results came back very, very good.
We are so thankful for that.

Long story short, she apparently

has developed Epilepsy.

There is no known cause of this disease.

It may be congenital or hereditary.

She has been started on

Zonisamide once per day.

Her prognosis is good and

the medication once a day for the rest of her life

should control her seizures. 

Mae Mobley is our darling girl...my baby....my love..my heart.

I ask that you please say a heartfelt prayer for this little precious.

It's been a tough week.
