Epilepsy in Persians

Did you know that epilepsy or seizure activity can affect animals including cats like the Persian? In general, epilepsy is a brain disorder that can cause animals to have sudden, uncontrollable seizures. These seizures are most often recurring and may or may not cause the animal to pass out. If your cat is suffering from seizures, contact your vet immediately. Some experts believe seizures are an “uncoordinated firing of neurons” within the cerebrum portion of the brain. The reasons for this are unknown; however, it is thought that, like humans, the neurotransmitters are not in a “proper chemical balance” so the activity is not coordinated as it should be. Cats suffering from epilepsy will have periodic occurrences of the uncoordinated neuron firings, which are known as seizures, convulsions, or even fits. Talk with your vet London, ON to learn more about seizures in cats.
