...strange behavior which I see on You Tube is very common in older cats. So many are posting about their cat having something called focal seizures which cause the head to have a mild tremor for a few seconds and also other muscular 'jerks. My cat has a mild head tremor for a few seconds and...

...normal after a minute. I’ve noticed sometimes these episodes happen if she is licking her side. Can’t imagine that has anything to do with it. I don’t know if these are seizures but I’m so afraid she will hurt herself . I am going to call the vet for a appt Monday, she needs her yearly anyways.

...they did a physical exam and found nothing. This happened three more times following the same sequence: yowling - vomiting - seizure. The seizures are 1-2 weeks apart. We've done blood work and ultrasounds and everything seems to be normal. I have a neurology referral for him that I'm waiting...

Our kitten is 4-5 months old and has been dealing with seizures for two months now. Phenobarbital didn’t seem to work. Gabapentin did but she’s horrible at consistently taking her medicine. We have to mix in a powder into pate. We took her to the ER the other night because she had a high fever...

I'm at my wits end. One of our foster’s kittens has suddenly broke out with seizures three-four weeks ago. She is 4 months old. She was running a low temp with a ridiculously high WBC. Our vet isn't sure what happened. After two weeks of Clindamycin and twice daily Gabapentin, she had four days...

...Maincoon/Neutered. My cat has no previous medical history, apart from feline gingivitis as a kitten. This year has recently had seizures after passing hairballs. First one happened after eating breakfast, my partner was woken up to the sound of the cat screaming, when he went to find him...

...blood pressure or blood clots. Unfortunately, you're really likely to need more testing for your cat. There's so many things that cause seizures and until you identify the cause, you won't be able to get treatment to stop them. I've had dogs with seizures before and they had to have a scan...

...already been told that. These conditions are hard to pinpoint, which is why your vet did not make a guess. To me, these episodes look like seizures. If they are, as they continue in frequency, the brain becomes accustomed to them and they intensify. Keep in mind that I am not diagnosing your...

My Jack has been on phenobarbital for close to a year now with no problems. His seizures did increase so the vets added keppra and gabapentin. No seizures since. I chose not to have the MRI done due to cost ( on a fixed income)and because 2 vets told me that it would not change the prognosis...

...treat something if there is a likelihood that there is pain involved. 'Just let nature run its course' - whether it is related to CKD, focal seizures, or any other health condition, even in older cats, doesn't mean 'no treatment', especially if there may be any kind of discomfort or pain...

Has she been seen by a vet? It sounds like it could be something neurological. Cats suffer from seizures, just as people do, but you really need to get a vet to examine her thoroughly to determine what is going on.

All drug stores around me are out of briviact which I take for seizures. Last one to take is tomorrow. Very annoying! Now what? At least I don't work til Thurs. I'm trying to make an appt asap. My dad has diabetes and weighs 132

As the others have said, it is a little surprising that you have not been given a referral to a neurologist. The cause of seizures can be hard to pinpoint, so the longer you wait the more time you are delaying a diagnosis. While many causes of seizures will not apply to your cat; i.e., I assume...

If seizures are part of the problem and controlling the itch does not control them, then medication for seizures should be used (phenobarbital is the most common feline choice, but other medications are available as well). This sentence is from the second article that @Alldara cited and I had...

There are other conditions that might look like focal seizures. If I were you, I'd take some videos of what your cat is doing and share them with your vet to see what they think.

...enters any critical state before you talk to your vet you might need to consider it. I have had a cat with FSH and a cat who had actual seizures, which is how I know that an ER (unless highly specialized) will not be able to get far with a diagnosis. Your initial description sounds like...

Freya never had a seizure, but she was diagnosed with focal epilepsy all the same due to her weird (and cyclical) episodes when she seemed lost and confused. Same here. I chose not to have the MRI done because it wouldn't have changed anything for Freya, and I would have put her under an...

...doesn’t resolve and ends in death. originally at the very beginning there was concern of a possible clot (back in April) but after multiple seizures (3 now that we know of) they said a clot is less likely. His cardiologist said yes of course his blood pressure and heart disease could cause...

I forgot about this thread til now! Tues of this week I had my before psychological testing,MRI wed dec 13 to make sure where my seizures are before doing laser or implant. It will be a relief to not take 7 pills twice a day, my recheck with my doc is in January. Not sure if this will happen...

...it could be mycoplasma due to symptoms. We got a month long round of antibiotics and after this he seemed normal. Then he started having "seizures" where he would stare into nothing and not react. These turned into partial seizures, he's had two that we've seen. He would stare into...
