My cat had a seizure this morning, but is now normal. Should I worry?

I would recommend taking Monkey in to the vet. Toxins can cause seizures and while epilepsy can occasionally be seen in cats it's not common. He should be evaluated to see what caused the seizure.

Seizures in cats are not normal and are very serious. There could be an underlying medical problem or this may be from a toxin ingestion. I'm not sure what to tell you do as I have no idea what products/medications you have available to you. The cat should see a vet. You can try giving her some milk if she will drink it. DO NOT force it down her throat. If it is a toxin ingestion that may help.

If she seems perfectly fine now...eating, drinking, peeing, pooping and walking normally with a normal activity level (not lethargic)... and this was her first episode, there is nothing that your vet could do other than routine screening bloodwork to rule out a liver/kidney issue or low blood sugar as the cause of the seizures. Your vet may also prescribe rectal valium suppositories to have on hand to treat any future seizures. Cats and dogs are usually not started on seizure medications unless they have several seizures a month or a prolonged seizure. Hopefully Rey won’t have any more episodes, but if she does, a short video clip may be helpful to bring to your vet. Good luck!

Although there are some feline viral diseases that would typically be present in litter mates and can cause neurologic disease, I would suspect that you would have noticed that one or both cats were sick prior to this if that were the case. In a 2 year old cat the most likely cause of seizures is a toxin exposure, so I would be sure to check the area very thoroughly for any potential hazards, such as antifreeze, that may have precipitated this.

Mice are not an unusual snack for cats and rarely cause any symptoms at all other than occasionally vomiting. Monitor for any severe vomiting and report to your vet if this occurs. If mouse bait is used, there is a possibility she may be exposed to this so monitor for any other unusual signs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kovu. Oh no, poor boy! That sounds awful. It could be an idiopathic seizure, meaning there is no known cause. There is a potential it could happen again, so I do think he should see a vet as soon as possible to get checked out, taking him into an ER vet tonight if you can. Best of luck.

He could have this behavior from an ear infection, head injury, low blood sugar or epilepsy. If Sherlock is back to normal then it was a seizure, if he's still having these problems and the blood work was normal I'm concerned about a serious neurological problem. I would take him back for a recheck if he's not much by tomorrow. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sherlock.
