  • How to Deal with Dog and Cat Seizures

    Thank you so much for joining us today on the Pet Doctor Blog!  Today, I am going to talk to you about dog seizures and seizures in cats.

    Dog seizures and cat seizures are any uncontrolled movements that are a result of abnormal brain activity.  If your dog or cat has a seizure, you may see some paddling, you may also see loss of consciousness and inappropriate urination and defecation.  The important thing is, if your pet has a seizure to go ahead and bring him or her as soon as possible so that we can go ahead and examine them to see what might be going on.

    There are many different causes of cat and dog seizures including toxins, metabolic defects, neurological defects and tumors.  The difference between these things can be sorted out quickly and efficiently when you bring them in to see your veterinarian.  The veterinarian can start with running blood work and a thorough examination.  After the examination and the blood work results, we may be able to prescribe your pet medications to prevent them from experiencing the seizures again.

    Alternatively, in some cases a referral to a neurologist may be required.  We do encourage owners to keep a seizure log of seizure activity and how long those seizure activities last so that we can examine that when we do look at your pet.

    Again, if your pet is having a seizure, the important thing to do is keep them calm and comfortable and never to try to reach After the symptoms subside it is important to bring your pet to see your veterinarian as soon as possible.
