If she has a seizure: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor Trickie at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately Also have her seen by a vet for anti-seizure medication. Best of luck.

    Unfortunately no, there are no home remedies to help Boba with her seizures. She should absolutely see a vet as soon as possible for these seizures, as she likely needs anti-seizure medications to prevent them. Please take her into the vet first thing in the morning. If Boba seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately

    There are no home remedies for seizures, Tommy has to see a vet now to get medication for it. If he seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near his mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor him at all times during the seizure to ensure that he cannot hurt himself by crashing into furniture, etc Please take him into a vet immediately.
