Most vets won't have the expertise to solve this problem. So fine. I
have given you the cure which is extraordinarily cheap. It won't cure
cure, but if it's a seizure it will stop the cat from having these
terrifying spells, as they used to be called in a different time and
place.

Again, 1/8th grain phenobarbitol, B.I.D., got it? That's the
prescription.

An old drug that you can buy a year's supply for a few dollars.

But you will need to tell the vet's that. If they look it up in their
textbooks, then can verify what I have posted here.

Thanks again.

Okay but, ahem, you need to post particulars, basics, like what is the
gender and weight of the cat? Is the cat fat? If so, then one has to
think of diabetes and what you are seeing is an attack from spikes or
dips in the blood sugar. If blood sugar, then post the lab results, so
can tell from the glucose levels.

IOW, post whatever info you have. From the info or lack of it, one can
guess if the vets are careful or just winging it.

But weight, gender, and previous history, blood tests, are a start. If
it's a seizure, then phenobarbitol for cats. If not a seizure, then
diabetes, as someone suggested. Dips in blood sugar caused
disorientation and are scary, very scary. And first come the dips, then
later the full spikes, so hypoglycemia then hyperglycemia.

Think of it this way, your cat is fainting. That's a big sign something
is wrong. Heart problems can start with fainting since the heart
controls the oxygenated flow of blood to the brain.

If a human had this problem, all sorts of questions would be asked. But
your cat can't answer. So it's up to you to speak for your cat, which
means, all the details you can muster at your disposal, starting with
gender, weight, and previous tests.

1. Seizures.
2. Blood sugar drops.
3. Heart irregularities.

Just for a start. All the above will cause swoons in mammals.
