If your cat is having seizures, an exam with your vet or at the nearest veterinary ER is strongly recommended. Go as soon as possible. Repeated seizures can cause permanent damage or may kill. Seizures can be caused by infection, trauma, toxicity, tumors or other neurologic conditions. It is important the seizures are controlled temporarily while diagnostics determine a cause that can be treated. At 17 years old, quality of life and euthanasia may need to be discussed if the seizures cannot be controlled or a diagnosis cannot be reached.
