I adopted a kitten from the animal humane society about 3 months ago and she is 8 months old now. She has had 2 seizures in the past 4 days. They both lasted about a minute long and she foamed at the mouth the entire time. Her body shakes and it appears that she is completely unaware of what is happening. She snaps out of it right away as though nothing ever happened. I took her to the vet after the first one and the vet recommended I monitor her for a period of time because seizures in cats as so rare. She also recommended I bring her back for a full blood test if she experiences more seizures. How common are seizures in cats? It seemed to me that the vet was somewhat surprised that she had had a seizure. I do not have the money to get the blood tests right away, is there anything I need to be cautious of until I can get her the bood tests? Could she have epilepsy? Thank you for your help.
I have an almost 8 year old blue heller, she had a seizure last night. This is the second one that she has had in the past few months, I have been reading on line about how sometimes it is from a vitamin/mineral dificiency, or something in the dog food. What do you think?
