Thunderstorm in her Brain

Description

A Skadi picture! :meow: Every once in a while I take some pictures and sometimes there is a photo I really like. This is one of them, I took it for my 52 week project 'cause Skadi was the center of my week. She always had some weird problems with her back and no vet found the elicitor. Also this winter she stopped eating and drinking for some days without any findable reason, she even had to be on a drip otherwise she would have died. And finally, at Tuesday night, we'd found the reason for all these problems: Epilepsy. She got two cramp attacks while I was sitting next to her not able to do anything than trying to look relaxed ... of course, I wasn't. It was shocking for me and when we've got the diagnosis it really got me down. On one hand it is good to know finally what's her problem, on the other hand, she has to take pills everday her life long and we don't know how long this will be. With every attack millions of brain cells die and I guess that she already has lost a lot. But right now everything is alright, she is happy about the attention she gets every morning and evening when her pill comes in a little treat and she is quite relaxed. Hope it will stay like this a long time.
Title comes from one of the million names epilepsy has.

Mix - Norwegian Forest Cat & Persian (maybe) . 9 1/2 years . Skadi . female

What a gorgeous girl! So glad you found a reason, epilepsy can be hard to diagnose in humans, never mind a kitty! She is such a beauty!
