Cat weekly disorientation / seizures?

For the folks who may have a similar problem with their Cat. After putting our Lippy Cat on High Blood Pressure medication for two weeks, she is still having her weekly seizure.

After discussing her condition with our Vet this weekend, we feel that by her excessive licking, it could indicate as Meg suggested a lack of Salt; which wont produce seizures, or a lack of Calcium which could produce seizures. My Vet has suggested increasing her Calcium intake in the form of Cheese or Yogurt. We started this regiment yesterday. This morning she looked as though she was going to have another attack, we promptly took her back to her Food, she ate some Cheese and all is still well. We will keep her on this regiment for about another two weeks to see how she progresses. The alternative is Phenobarbital, Diazepam or Potassium Bromide, all of which I don't like because they are controlled drugs with possible side affects.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

James
