White Orchid Melody

My cat of seven years is not faring so well.  He’s been having seizures for the past year.  We took him to the vet when it started, but they couldn’t figure out a reason.  Apparently seizures in cats are very rare.  We started him on medication to manage the seizures, which worked for awhile, but we’ve gradually had to increase the dosage.  And anytime we travelled, he’d be off the meds for a few days.  (My neighbors are kind enough to feed and water the animals, but I don’t ask them to administer pills.) Well as of late, he’s been having seizures again–almost everyday this week.  It is really stressful to see him thrash around, and it can be messy, as he drools a lot and sometimes urinates.  It’s a bad situation, but I don’t know what to do about it.  Should we put him down just because he suffers a couple minutes a day?  The rest of the time he is fine.  I know that eventually it is going to come to that, but I just don’t think that time is now.  If I felt like he was suffering all the time it would be an easy decision, but most of the time he is fine.  And even when it comes to that, I don’t know how to go about it.  He hates the vet!  I can’t imagine stressing him out by going to the vet only to have him killed!  That’s not how I would want to go!  It’s so frustrating.
