Considerations regarding treating cats with seizures
Seizures are a common complaint in Seizures are not uncommon in cats. Approximately 20% of the
animals that I treat with seizures are cats. Unlike dogs, these patients do not
have a high incidence of "idiopathic epilepsy". In fact, several reports
indicate that more than 75% of all cats presented with partial or generalized
seizures have an underlying or systemic disease causing the seizures. For
clinicians, the challenge is to identify causes such as ischemic
encephalopathy, renal disease, hypertension, neoplasia, encephalitis,
polycythemia, or other causes.
