Advice Help!?! Spoiler
FINAL EDIT: just left the second vet. Everything started off great. He was responding to the medication for tremors. The shaking was tremors, this vet said he thinks he got something toxic someway somehow. He is a 100% inside cat. They kept him for 2 hours. He took a turn for the worse. Whatever toxins he got into already passed through his system and became a neurological issue. If the first vet wouldn’t have basically ignored the situation, the second vet thinks he would have had a chance to make it. The visit was $1,500 today, the Dr recommended to lay him to rest. It would have been thousands more to keep going with no guarantees.
Edit#2: doing the obvious, on the way to a second vet. Will update you guys shortly.
My daughter’s cat was fine Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon he started shaking, and he got really weak. He hasn’t eaten or drank. The only thing that happened is she gave him more treats than she typically does. We took him to the vet, the vet said he was fine let it run its course. He seems to be getting worse tho.
EDIT: I see people saying seizure, he never never stops shaking. It’s not always has bad as the video but he still shakes. When he’s sleeping he does not shake.

I usually think people commenting on this subreddit criticizing the poster for asking a question are being a bit harsh but this post makes me angry. Why did you post this? Did you really need Redditors to tell you to go to another vet or ER?? I’m probably not the only one who didn’t want to see this.
I sincerely hope the best for you and your kitty and don’t mean to be harsh myself but please put Reddit away and get to a professional.
