my epileptic is cat acting strange

Thanks for reaching out about your cat. Having an epileptic pet can be challenging, so I understand your concern when they start behaving differently. Cats with epilepsy may exhibit odd behaviors for several reasons, such as pending seizures, medication side effects, or increased stress levels.



Some signs to watch for include disorientation, increased vocalization, changes in appetite or litter box habits, and excessive hiding or anxiety. If these behaviors align with a typical seizure aura, your cat might be about to have a seizure.



At home, ensure your cat has a calm environment with low stress and minimal exposure to loud noises or sudden changes in routine. This can help reduce triggers. Make sure they’re in a safe space where they can't injure themselves if a seizure occurs.



However, some signs may require immediate veterinary attention. If your cat experiences prolonged seizures, has more frequent episodes, seems excessively lethargic, or shows signs of distress like panting or drooling, it's crucial to seek professional advice promptly.



To discuss your cat’s condition in more detail and ensure their management plan is optimal, consider booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. This will give us a chance to further assess any serious issues and adjust their care as needed. Remember, you’re not alone in this, and we’re here to help!
