Seizures in Dogs and Cats

   Dogs and cats are able to experience seizures just like humans. Seizures occur due to abnormal brain activity often due to unknown cause, and are characterized by convulsions, unconsciousness, abnormal behaviors, and often the inability to control urination, defecation, and salivation. Seizures can be congenital, or they can be acquired from things like disease or toxicants. Sometimes seizures are even mistaken for something else, like cardiovascular disease, making it important to discuss any suspicions with your veterinarian.
There are different types of seizures, so any type of abnormal behavior should be reported to your veterinarian. When discussing changes with your vet, be sure to take note of any environmental changes, new medications/supplements/food, events prior, during, and after the abnormal behavior, etc. to help your vet give the best care to your pet.
