Has your Japanese Bobtail recently been diagnosed with epilepsy? If so then you should talk with your vet about medications, treatment plans, and long-term care. Feline epilepsy generally occurs when your Japanese Bobtail is overcome with sudden or periodic seizures. Like human seizures, feline seizures are believed to be related to the miscommunication of neurons in the cerebrum of the brain. The cause for these miscommunication; however, is unknown. Once your vet has diagnosed your Japanese Bobtail’s epilepsy through a variety of tests and scans, he will be able to prescribe a treatment plan. For instance, if an underlying cause is determined then the cause will be treated. It is important to note that treatment for epilepsy is not a cure. Treatment is given in hopes of decreasing the frequency, severity, and duration of the seizures in your Japanese Bobtail.
