and very scary sense of déja vu.
This morning started off like every other morning. Star was asleep next to me, curled up and against the backs of my thighs. At approximately 6:30 am PDT, I was woken up by the distinct sound of him getting ready to hork up a hairball. Then, after the initial horking, he acted like he was going to hork again, but instead, he started convulsing. It only lasted a few seconds, but it brought me back to the night of January 14, 2011, the night I lost Smokey. For those brief seconds, it wasn't Star I was seeing, but Smokey. I yelled, "Star!! What's the matter!?!" After the brief seizure, he was just laying there. And for a very scary second, I thought my baby boy was dead. I put my hand on his side to see if he was still breathing. Thank God! He was still breathing. I've been watching him like a hawk and he seems to be okay, but I'm wondering if this is something we should bring him to the vet for. I know it's gonna be like pulling teeth to convince my ex-husband to take him, especially since we took him to the vet about three weeks ago because of weepy eyes.
Even though he seems to be fine right now, I am still very worried about him. If it were you, would you take him to the vet or would you just keep a very sharp on him?
