My kitten had a seizure. What causes cat seizures and what can I do?

Question

Good morning. My 11 month old male kitten experienced a gereralized seizure about an hr ago. He was laying on his side and his entire body was shaking. He lives in a 6feet enclourse because of there being feral male cats around. His 1year old sister also experienced generalized seizures when she was younger. To the point that she was unable to walk. My vet said this is the first case of feline seizure that he has encountered. And that he can not give meds because of its weight and size.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can occur due to many reasons that go from a toxicity, metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases and even tumors. I highly recommend that you have Blackberry evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Diagnostics that will be recommended will include bloodwork and advanced imaging such as an MRI. They would also be able to start him on anti-seizure medications to try to avoid the onset of more seizures. They could consider compounding the anti-seizure medications so that they can give it to him despite his small size. Good luck and have a good day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
