My cat Elsa is just over a month old and she has seizures.

She looks perfectly fine, eats, plays with other kitties. But out of nowhere, she gets seizures and starts trembling vigorously. During the seizure, she urinates and oozes saliva out of her mouth. Her body becomes stiff as a stick. After the seizure subsides, she sits at once place for about an hour and then starts playing again.
I know she needs to be taken to the vet right away, but unfortunately, India is on a total lockdown due to the virus and everything is closed.

Please put me in touch with an online vet who can help me with some meds or anything.

Thanks in advance.

PS.
I have a video of the seizure too but I am unable to attach that here. I am willing to email, Whatsapp the video to anyone who can help.

She may have epilepsy, which is treatable with medication. Since you are in India, I did some searching and found an article in the Times of India indicating that some vets are opened. They are considered medical practitioners and essential services. You may have to get a pass to take her. Call around, or do a computer search for local vets who are opened. She really should be seen. While seizures are far worse on those watching than those having them (they aren't aware at all), you need to know the cause. Repeated seizures are very rough on them.
