Looks like my cat had a seizure/stroke on sunday night. Haven't seen any more since then so hopefully it's just a one off...

Well the internal medicine doctor I saw on Wednesday doesn't think I have an infection at all. He thinks the problem is neurological. So lucky me I have an appointment with a neurologist on Tuesday.
