My kitten has episodes: drooling, shaking, dilated pupils. Is it serious?

Question

My 3 month old kitty experiences episodes where her pupils are extremely dilated, she drools profusely (covers herself) and also tears up profusely. She also seems to shake/nod her head. Also becomes uninterested in pretty much anything, these episodes come and go and when she's not in one she is quite normal and hyperactive as a kitty should be. She's also inbred (father-daughter), what could be wrong with her? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 27 days old | 0.5 lbs

This sounds like seizure activity. I strongly suggest you get her to a vet for an exam and some blood testing. I recommend you video tape one of these episodes so you can show the vet as she may not be exhibiting the symptoms during the exam. Seizures in cats are very serious (especially with her being so young) so I don't suggest you wait too long before seeking treatment especially since her seizures may be due to a congenital problem secondary to inbreeding.
