Cat Seizure

Good lord I hope that the cat is okay...I never have had one that has had seizures before, I hope that it will stop having them and that ou find the cause. My cat is ready to give birth any minute of the day now and I am so excited I can barely sit still..Cats can purr their way into our hearts and I would be lost without mine. They can give us alot of worry but alot of love also. I am hoping that this will pass. I jut hope it didn't get into any checmicals or something like rat poison that could be harmful and cause seizures.

My cats come to me as strays, and that is how I got Princess. She was an itty bitty kitty and had awful fleas. I was studying for my nurses aid certificate, and told hubby to go to Wal Mart and get some flea treatment. We got a name brand that was an upline product, and did the spot on treatment. I remember casually reading the box and warnings about neurotoxicity and seizures. I took her to bed with me to observe since she was tiny, and cold. I woke up at four with her having seizures. In that case I knew what caused it and I followed the package directions, which were to wash the cat. In the morning she went to the vet for observation for several days. I feel like it kept us from bonding as well as we could have, but she loves me. I cannot really relate to an older cat having seizures. I would wonder if it was nutritionally caused? In human beings a shortage of potassium can cause seizures or seizure appearing behaviors.

Its sad to hear about your cat seizure. I hope she gets well soon. Sorry I don't know much about seizure in pets.

We've had both a cat and a dog that had seizures. For each pet after the first one we took them in to a vet (both went to different vets) and each was diagnosed with Epilepsy. I cant remember what causes it...but the episode with the cat was when i was like 8 or 9 and the puppy was when i was about 17. The puppy was one we had raised for sale and We ended up giving it to a local family who really wanted a puppy to love and could afford the medication to keep her healthy. Shes still around and healthy now 8 years later so they've kept good care of her.

My cat Marril has seizures frequently. Not strong seizures though. He got hit by a car a while back and has never fully recovered. He is a bit numb now and has bad balance. Every once and a while (well, about 5 times a day or so) he'll stretch himself trying to clean himself and go nuts, scratching and biting everything and having muscle spasms everywhere. It last about 5-10 seconds (a horrible 5-10 seconds if he is on or near exposed flesh) and then he goes back to licking himself like nothing happened. I don't even know if he knows that he does this. He will also do this if you pet a specific spot along his spine to roughly. Haven't been able to do anything for him except keep him inside from then on... Dan
