My cat's eyes rolled back, not eating. Is it a seizure? What to do?

Question

Watson's eyes went to the opposite side of his head (both toward his ears) and were kind of rolled back into his head. He was curled up in a tight ball when it happened. He sat up for a minute or two, then slid back down into a ball. He's had issues of highs and lows with his health...did he have a mild seizure? He's drinking some, but can't seem to bring himself to eat anything really. He's got a first thing appointment witj his vet tomorrow. What should I do till then? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 months and 6 days old | 4.2 lbs

This sounds very much like a seizure.Poor guy. I would try to keep him in a quiet, cozy room for tonight and try not stimulate him any more than necessary until his morning appointment. Sometimes seizures can be exacerbated by stress, so its best to keep him stress free until further testing in the morning. If you do witness another episode like this, then its really valuable to record it so that you can show your veterinarian. I hope that your fur baby Watson will be ok. If he has another seizure that seems to last more than 3-5 minutes, then its really best to take him to the ER vet instead of waiting til morning to get emergency medicine to stop the seizure and hopefully avoid permanent brain damage. Best wishes and take care.
