Cat has seizure because of fear
by Peggy
(New Jersey)
My 16 year old cat, is very spoiled and timid. The last time I had her in a cat carrier, she was so scared, she had a seizure.
Some of her behavior has changed lately and I want to take
her to the vet, but I don't know how to get her there without
terrifying her.
Any suggestions?

there are some calming drugs that a vet can prescribe for you to give to your cat. perhaps if you cll them to see if they can let you have some.
As for the long term, i always suggest that the cat carrier is kept out and open with a blanket in the bottom at all time in the house so that the cat gets use to seeing it and is used to it's smell they can even use it to sleep in if they wish. this stops the carrier being a scary thing, so that when you do use it for the vets it is less of a traumatic experience.
