My cat with cancer had a seizure. Should I consider euthanasia?

Question

My cat has metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. but has been well. Today she had a seizure. Is this a sign that I should consider euthanasia pretty soon. She is 7 years old, still eating, drinking, still herself other than the seizure. I do not want her to suffer in any way. Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Female | spayed | 7 years and 10 months old | 11 lbs

Seizures can be treated with medication, so I would have Ashie seen by a vet right away. It may be possible that antiseizure medications can improve her quality of life so euthanasia doesn't have to be considered at the moment. I would speak to the vet about the possibility of these medications. If she seizures again before you seek veterinary attention: - do not put your hands near her mouth so you don't get bitten - you can apply rubbing alcohol to her paws to cool her down - monitor her at all times to ensure she doesn't harm herself moving around.
