My cat had a seizure. How do I know if she's okay without a vet?

Question

Hello, so my cat who is 2 years old had what I believe to be a seizure. A little foam of the mouth and complete muscle loss (not including bowels). She woke up disoriented but seems perfectly fine now. What ways can i check and see if she really is ok without having to go to our local vet? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 6 lbs

If she seems perfectly fine now...eating, drinking, peeing, pooping and walking normally with a normal activity level (not lethargic)... and this was her first episode, there is nothing that your vet could do other than routine screening bloodwork to rule out a liver/kidney issue or low blood sugar as the cause of the seizures. Your vet may also prescribe rectal valium suppositories to have on hand to treat any future seizures. Cats and dogs are usually not started on seizure medications unless they have several seizures a month or a prolonged seizure. Hopefully Rey won’t have any more episodes, but if she does, a short video clip may be helpful to bring to your vet. Good luck!
