little ditty about your kitty
Seizures and Your Cat
There are many reasons why human being experience seizures, lets start with the basics, most likely cause is neurological condition that can cause the brain to produce burst of electrical energy. When this balance is altered seizures may result.
It is the same in cats if there is out of balance may cause convulsing fits. If you notice that there is something different about your pet's take them to the vet and describe in detail the change or different behavior. Remember if you have a cat for a pet or any pets you are responsible for keeping them healthy and happy.
Seizures are not always the same in every cat, they can occur at any time, and often have symptoms like loss of consciousness, contractions of the muscles, involuntary bodily functions, non-responsiveness, hallucinations, running in circles, and viciousness.
Your cat may or may not recognize you if he or she is going to have seizure or after the seizure occurs. There are three main phases of seizures and I will share them with you.
In the pre-ictal phase better known as the recovering stage.
The kitty may know that there are about to have one, they may start to appear nervous, hide,or find you and cling to you. Your kitty may also be be very nervous and tremble.
This may last as long as two or more hours, but in most cases it only last a few minutes.
The ictle phase is the actual seizure
In this phase, the cat usually falls to its side and seems paralyzed .the body shakes uncontrollably and the head sometimes draws backwards. They may even lose bodily functions during and after this stage. Immediately afterward your kitty inters the post-ictal phase, your pet may experience temporary blindness, confusion, nervousness, and disorientation during this period.
If your cat has a seizure, do not panic unlike humans, cat cannot swallow their tongues. Keep your hands away from their mouth at all times. There is nothing you can do to stop the seizure, simply prevent the cat from falling or otherwise hurting them selves during the seizure,
Immediately call your vet in most cases , seizures are caused buy epilepsy, which is treatable and usually not damaging to your cat. Other medical conditions may also occur.
Your vet can help your pets by doing a physical examination, studying their blood and urine, and the vet may do a electrocardiogram to rule out more serious liver, heart, kidney, and blood disease.
