When should my cat see a neurologist for recurring seizures?

Question

Hi, my cat Teddy will be 2 in February. I lived in NC then we moved to AL. He was fine and seemed happy still does most days. Within the past two months he's had 3 gran Mal seizures. Not lasting more than a minute. 2/3 were while he was sleeping. I took him to the vet for the first one but he checked out fine with them. My question is when should I take him for the tests like neuro and EKG? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 10 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If blood work has not been done I would consider having this done along with any infectious disease tests the vet recommends running based on the lab work. If the seizures become more frequent or longer in duration, he will likely need to be on an anti seizure medication. I would also recommend consulting with a neurologist if the seizures become more frequent or longer in duration, especially if any new symptoms arise. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
