Evening everyone,
I’m having a bit of a worry with my 8-year-old cat, Garfield.
This morning, he went into the kitchen to eat, then turned around (his bowl is near the sink) and as he walked past the sink, he just stopped and fell to the floor on his side, his pupils dilated and his whole body completely limp. When I saw that, I rushed over to him, held his head in my hand, rubbed his tummy while talking to him and shaking him gently. No reaction other than some slight spasms. His eyes were open with his pupils still fully dilated (at their maximum I think, I could only see a thin sliver of green in his eyes, the rest was black...). After a good five minutes, he pooped (still lying on his side), then after another five minutes, he sat up. His eyes were still pitch black, then a moment later everything went back to normal. Since this episode, there's been nothing to report – he’s playing, eating, drinking, using his litter tray, asking for cuddles, etc... just like usual. I was absolutely terrified... I thought he was dying and my mobile wasn't within reach, so I couldn't leave him to call the vet. I've done that now, but he’s on holiday... His assistant is swamped, so I wanted to get your opinions or hear any similar stories just to reassure me that I can wait a few days before taking him to see the vet.
Thanks so much.
