Hi Tina,

it's nice to meet you, Cinnamon, and Butterscotch!

Regarding Cinnamon's seizures, it sounds like she might have a bad case 
of mites.  If that's the case, she should be treated with ivermectin 
ASAP (I'm sure a million other people on the digest have written this 
to you!).  The definitive resource (in my opinion) on mites and 
ivermectin is a wonderful website called "guinealynx" 
(www.guinealynx.info).  The specific page is:

http://www.guinealynx.info/mites.html

An exotics vet also should be quite knowledgeable about mites and 
ivermectin.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions!

best,
Ginger, Nosophoros, and Flaco-Paco (and Wallie, forever in our hearts)
