I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this stressful situation with your cat. It’s important to address what's happening as calmly as possible. Seizures can be caused by various underlying issues, such as epilepsy, exposure to toxins, or metabolic imbalances. Sometimes, underlying conditions like liver disease or thyroid problems can also lead to prolonged seizures.
When a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, it's considered an emergency. Since it's been over 2 hours, your cat needs immediate veterinary care. Prolonged seizures can lead to dangerous increases in body temperature and other serious complications, which is why quick intervention is crucial.
In the meantime, make sure your cat is in a safe space where they can't fall or hurt themselves. Clear away any nearby objects and gently place something soft under their head. Try to keep the environment calm and quiet. Avoid touching your cat’s mouth or attempting to restrain them.
Please watch for signs like continuous seizures without recovery, extreme lethargy, or difficulty breathing, as these indicate the need for urgent care.
It's essential to get your cat seen by a vet promptly. Book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet as soon as possible, so we can guide you on what to do next and ensure your cat receives the care they need.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
