Should I give my kitten daily Diazepam for seizures or wait?

Question

My kitten had a Post traumatic seizure 2 days ago. She had a seizure every 30mins (cluster seizures) I called a vet and was asked to give her an Injection of Diazepam every day for weeks. After the first use, the seizures did stop. And I have given her another injection yesterday as well. But another Vet has told me not to give her the Diazepam daily but rather wait until she has another seizure and then inject her. What should I do? Do I inject the Diazepam daily or wait for the next seizure? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 21 days old | 4 lbs

Yes, I would agree with the second Vet and recommend to inject Diazepam only in case of seizure. It does not make pharmacologically and therapeutic sense to give Diazepam daily.
