lederhosen(Probably nothing for concern here)
Basil may've had a small fit this afternoon. He was sitting on the sofa for a while; I looked around and saw him moving around on the floor next to the sofa. He might've just been scratching himself on the rug or something, but it looked more like a fit, twisting from side to side. When he had a fit before, it was like he'd lost the use of his back legs (and was trying to get up but not managing to do it). This looked like it might've been the same sort of thing.
I held his head gently (so he wouldn't bump it on furniture) and he stopped moving around. When I let him go, he sat there quietly for a while, not obviously distressed but not responding when I called him. After a few minutes he got up, but he was looking a bit quieter than usual for a while.
Didn't last as long as last time and he didn't seem as distressed. Last time he was better by the time we got to the vet, and they couldn't find anything wrong with him. I'm guessing epilepsy or something of that sort; having only seen it happen twice in the last year-and-a-half, I'm not too worried. Just making a note here in case things change and I want a history.
