My old cat just had a seizure. What does this mean for his future?

Question

My 12 (aprox) yr. old cat, Pheonix, just had a fairly bad seizure. He fell down and his paws were locked up and He urinated. Lasted about 45 seconds. He went to the Vet 08-14. Leukemia, rabies, distemper shots. He seems fine now but my question is how will this affect his future. Oh, he is an out side cat. Thanx for your time! Curtis.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can occur due to many reasons that go from a toxicity, metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases and even tumors. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Diagnostics that will be recommended will include bloodwork and advanced imaging such as an MRI. They would also be able to start him on anti-seizure medications to try to avoid the onset of more seizures. Good luck and have a good day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
