EPILEPSY/FIT/SEIZURE ADVICE

SEIZURES/FITS. Please Do NOT wrap-up an animal either having a ‘fit’ or recovering from a ‘fit. Many of the complications of having a seizure are related to the patient overheating from the excessive muscle activity. Allow the pet to recover from the episode, contact your vet and make arrangements to have your pet seen if needs be but keep the pet cool (not frozen) on the journey to the vet. If you are able to, it is really helpful to have a video of the ‘episode’ as many ‘fits’ are not actually true seizures but often collapsing episodes or movement disorders. For those cases, seizure medication is of no use, so having actual evidence of the episode can greatly help your vet and your pet get the ttue condition under control.
