My regular vet wasn't on duty and I went with the "founder of the practice," because my male cat KoKo (yes, that's my DU user name) was completely "out of control" running from room to room, scratching up furniture, exhibiting signs of rage and otherwise "totally outta control behavior, jumping on his sister cat and biting her until she cried. He's always been the nicest of the two Siamese and very loving and my "pal."
I work from my house (do research for our business, so am on computer all the time, which is why I post on DU so much) BUT....ANYWAY....my cat all of a sudden exhibited really bad behavior, which seemed to occur when I started my morning off hitting DU before I do my daily research.
I couldn't deal with his behavior because he was making ME psycho.
Vet says "In the Spring we see cats having PsychoMotorSiezures" and you just need to give him a pill every day for 60 days and then call me back and tell me how it went!
I thought this guy was a JERK. First of all, he looked just like James Carvil with glasses and shaved head and he didn't do a thorough exam of KoKo before he wanted to put him on drugs and diagnosed him as a "psycho."
He's NOT my regular vet, but I took the prescription, but will never subject my poor KoKo to a "pill a day for 60 days" to contol what this vet said was a "Spring Thing" that we see in cats for "unknown reasons." I felt this vet was a "pill pusher." KoKo is a "foamer" and for those of you who understand that means you "give a pill" and kitty "foams it out of his/her mouth." So, pills don't work because kitty has eliminated it. 60 Days of this would have my kitty and me at it and probably have him dead because he wouldn't trust me anymore.
I didn't fill the prescription, because of this, but I think this vet was a "sicko" and wish I'd seen my regular one.
Am I doing the wrong thing by not giving my kitty these pills? Or, was I correct that this vet didn't know what the hell he was talking about?
Have any others of you had dealing with PsychoMotorSeizure Syndrom which occurs in Cats "only in the Spring" of the year?
Thanks!
