Thank you ML, Not So Quick, Chris, bewtiful, Karen, and Athena ...and
everybody.  h0p came home late yesterday afternoon displaying the type of
behaviour he typically displays after a seizure (crying out, pacing
confusedly, etc.)  This was no seizure however, and this type of activity
doesn't last 48 hours after a normal seizure.

I've now seen this happen three times.  h0p, completely out of the blue,
loses normal motor function, and kind of flops from side to side when he
tries to walk.  On the car ride over, he went completely still, and it
looked like his eyes had rolled back in his head.  I thought we'd lost
him. He stabilized somewhat the next day, and "ate like a pig" they tell
me.  His doctor says this is absolutely neurological, and that he couldn't
possibly eat like he did with end stage liver disease. His CBC shows
normal, and his liver function has actually gotten better since he came
off the phenobarb.

When this happens, he is put on fluids and given valum. but *still* none
of his doctors know what's causing it. No ML, no EEG has been performed
because they were initially quite sure that his seizures has been caused
by toxoplasmosis, but this is something new.

If any of you doctors out there can give me any advice as to what type of
tests you feel should be done, or where a good place to have them done
might be, it'd be much appreciated.  Physically he's doing great.

h0ppy was crying by the door this morning so we took him out, and he
seemed to enjoy that alot.  He's doing well but tends to fall asleep right
in the middle of things, as if he had narcolepsy.  I suppose this whole
episode would have made me tired too...wait...it did make me tired too :)

Thanks again to all you well wishers.  Once again my little feral fighter
made it through ...oh!  Right on time to get his new cotton collar too,
but I'll post about that later (still treating for fleas and wanted to use
the computer before more spraying goes on in this room!).
