Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5.8 lbs
Hi my cat had a fit/seizure and was breathing weird and purring constantly I took him to the vet he did overall test for kidneys etc and couldn't find anything wrong with them and said it was about eliminating factors to find out what's wrong with my cat but I don't have the money for a $2000 ct scan so he said to watch him and bring him back if it worsens. Then I got home he started acting weird walking everywhere not sleeping threw up once but now is still and is very stiff hardly moving queit

I'm so sorry that Thomas isn't doing well. I can't tell what's going on from your description, but generally when the cause of an illness is not obvious from a physical exam, we do have to keep running tests until we find a cause OR try possible treatments until something works. When we're treating blindly, we run the risk of making something worse. Since it's getting worse, I think another vet visit is in order and you can work out a treatment plan that fits within your budget. Wishing you and Thomas the best of luck.
