Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am very surprised to find that there are no rewiews or information about this product helping with seizures. My previously healthy 7 year old mainecoon/tabby mix started exhibiting very strange behavior, walking around confused (as though trying to find something), crying profusely and drooling. Initially I though that he may have ingested some toxins as he was also vomiting more than he usually does. About 3 or 4 days after the initial symptoms started, he collapsed into a grand mal seizure which lasted about 45 seconds (one of the scariest and most heart wrenching things I have ever seen). We immediately took him to the emergency room where after observations we were told that the cause of the seizures was unknown and that those initial episodes of drooling were actually petit mal seizures. We were told that he would require CT scans as well as a follow up with a neurologist, all costing around $5,000. We were also advised that because he would need to be put under anesthesia to perform the tests, there were many risks involved. Being in a position where I was unable to afford the $5,000 for diagnostic tests, the only thing I could do was take my kitty home and search for an alternative. He was given a prescription for Keppra which I had to mix with his food 3 times a day. Unfortunately he continued to have the petit mal seizures continuously throughout the day even while on the medication, up to 8 per day, each time losing control of his bladder and becoming more and more distressed after each episode. In addition to the seizures he was displaying numerous negative side effects from the medication. I was aware of the dangers of stopping it completely, so I was hoping to wean him off while giving him a natural alternative. I found some natural drops that were said to help animals with seizures, they did not stop the seizures but did help to keep him calm. I eventually came across some articles which mentioned that taurine deficiency could cause seizures in cats. I immediately did some research to find a supplement containing taurine and ordered the Life extension Cat Mix. I mixed a dose with his food in the evening as soon as it arrived, he had a few bites of food and had a petit mal seizure shortly after (not because of the supplement but because he was just having them so frequently at that point) after that seizure he finished his food and since then has not had another episode. I can truly say that one dose was all it took, he went from having 8 (or more) seizures a day to none, overnight! It took a while to get him back to perfect health after all of the negative effects of the medication, I weaned him off quite quickly but his front teeth started rotting anyway as a result. I continue to give him this supplement and he is back to his old self, even his teeth have improved. It has been over 4 months and he has been completely seizure-free since that first dose, absolutely incredible! I was very surprised that a simple deficiency could cause so many issues, especially since I always fed him very high quality grain free food which claimed to have all necessary nutrients. This was such a simple solution, I am so grateful for this product.
