Apollo going to the vet
Dec. 24th, 2007 12:24 pmSo I was sitting here typing away at the computer, and Apollo was curled up sleeping beside me, and he started moving one paw wierd, just up and down. I thought, he must be dreaming, so I tickled his foot, and got no response. Usually when I see them dreaming, their eyes and whiskers would be moving, and his eyes and whiskers weren't. So I poked him, which normally elicits the "the fuck do you want?" look, but he didn't even open his eyes. So I nudged his head, and he was completely limp like he was dead or something. He was still breathing normally. Nudged him some more, and a couple seconds later, he snapped out of it and woke up.
I've seen seizures before in two different animals, one a cat, but they've been more violent, not the catatonic seizures.
Anyway, he's going to the vet.
Update:
Vet says it's probably not a seizure, since Apollo went limp and not rigid, and it's most likely nothing and he was just in really deep REM sleep.
Hell, I know how many times I can kick Nathan to move him off my side of the bed, and he doesn't wake up.
