My 6-month-old kitten had a seizure. Why is he still acting strange?

Question

My 6 month old kitty had a seizure Thursday it only lasted a minute but it’s been almost a week and he’s still not acting like normal. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 months and 1 day old

Oh dear! Poor Sterling. Seizures are definitely not normal, especially in a kitten this young - this could be caused by a neurologic disease like FIP (feline infectious peritonitis), toxoplasmosis, a liver shunt, or some type of toxicity. I would definitely recommend taking him to the vet, especially since he's still acting abnormal a week later. Your veterinarian can do a full neurologic exam and may also recommend lab work or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem.
