Food poisoning can do that to you. Did you feel chilled?
I would try and find the closest emergency vet..the kitten probably sustained head trauma which caused the seizure and his abnormal breathing. He needs treatment to reduce the swelling in his brain. Usually, the voicemail at your vet's office tells you the number of the recommended emergency clinics in the area. You can always google emergency vets in your area as well. Hope the little kitty makes it..
It is important to accurately describe the seizure, timing of the day the seizure occurred and also in what setting. Then the question arises if the seizure should be treated – this is answered by looking at the risk and benefits of having a recurrent seizure and the side effects of the antiepileptics.
Ultimately, the workup will need to identify the cause of the seizure. Is it from an intracranial lesion, an epileptic syndrome, stress, etc? You will need to have neuroimaging performed (i.e,.
She came home after 24 hours of no seizure. That night she had another seizure and was brought back to the emergency room. They gave her phenobarbitol, diazepam injections and keppra tablets.
She came home after 24 hours of no seizure at the ER. I now had to give her 2 doses of Keppra per day.
8 days later she went to her vet appointment and we decided to taper her off of the Keppra and also started her on Di Tan Tang.
Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Not much was really understood about the conditions which cause seizures until the invention of the continuous glucose monitors. Since then, there have been only 3 documented cases of seizures of people on the CGM. Of those 3, one was low for 2 hours, one for 3 hours, and one for 5 hours. And in this case, 'low' means below 60.
The seizures stopped on there on in the emergency room. The emergency room put her on Keppra, that is when the real nightmare stared. She stopped sleeping, had wild mood swings, hallucinations, rage, screaming and attaching (no behavioral problems ever before this). She would hug me for an hour at a time, and leave blood scratch marks on my back. Anxiety was very high. We took her off the Keppra (a call to the children’s hospital confirmed to do this).
He's seizing again. Do you have an emergency vet you can contact? If you call your regular vet, there should be an outgoing recording instructing you what to do in an emergency, and this qualifies. Please let us know what happens!
I had Epilepsy diagnosed and my first seizure at age 30 - my social life improved. I cared more about what my life and work was doing to me. My guess is that any beer or alcohol is hirting your son. An average seizure is over in within 5", though mine are longer. There is info on first aid for epilepsy. Definitely if he falls protect his head against anything hard or sharp.
During or after a seizure he may have mucus which can be relieved by turning him to the side.
I have been to the emergency room 3 times for excruciating pain on the right side of my head that travels down to my neck and shoulder. It affects the right side of my throat, tongue and my speech. Slurred speech is the residual affect. This is always preceded by a sneeze. They last about 20 minutes. Blood tests, CT scans, and mri/mra showed no signs of a stroke. Experts said these episodes could have been mini strokes. The neurologists said they could have been seizures.
We rushed her to emergency, but it took about ten minutes to get there and another ten for them to treat her symptoms before she stopped. She did not have a fever. She was given ativan and dilantin intravenously at this time. A CT scan returned negative. The next morning she was given 150 mg of dilantin and walked like a drunken sailor for the rest of the day (she weighs 20kg). We are waiting for an EEG and, in the meantime she has been prescribed phenobarbitol. This worries me.
Well later that night she was sleeping with me and woke up from a dead sleep and started to have another seizure so I took her back to the emergency room. And she ment haunted a fever. So they sent her home. Now she has been fine back to her old self but favor her seizure. She has been rolling her eyes in the back of her head. She never used to do this now she does it all the time like every couple mins. The doctors seem to think nothing is wrong with her but she never used to do that.
My Weimaraner 7 year old male walked up tomight insideboyt flipped eyelids that were stuck in that position. Was loading him up to go to emergency room when I noticed they were back to normal. Was this a result of stroke or seizure or underlying issue ????
I agree with Ginger, it does sound like some type of seizure. The only thing is seizure activity USUALLY lasts only maybe 30 seconds to three or four minutes. Ten minutes seems like a long time.
Your dog is in the right age bracket for genetically carried epilepsy to begin. Seizure activity is usually first seen between the second and third year, although it can occur at any point in the dog's life, most of the time seemingly out of nowhere.
hi there I have a 12 year old shitzu dog and she has a heart problemand last night we think she had a stroke and she also had a bad seizure what should I do she aint acting righ she wont eat or drink please help me
, then passed out again, she said before I hit the ground my body bucked like I was going to have a seizure (she has had one before, and knows what they look like) but by the time she got the phone to dail 911 I was sitting back up on the floor looking around bewildered. She asked me questions,I normally would answer fast, but it took me a few mintues to get out the answer.
Loss of conscious in any emergency room I have every worked in mandates an overnight stay for observation. This is not the case in certain emergency rooms in Somalia and Afghanistan, and a little Island off the coast of Iceland notorious for practicing polygamy, but everywhere else, that is the drill.
Clearly a neurological event took place, which seems to have been consistent with a petit mal seizure, etiology unknown.
Either there is some kind of damage or disease process in the part of the brain that caused the seizure, or she has another injury from thrashing around during the seizure. Whatever the case, you need a vet. Hopefully you can find an open clinic today. Most vet clinics have an outgoing phone message that tells there clients where to go in an emergency, so don't hang up if someone doesn't answer the phone.
We have a 3 year old female boxer that delivered a litter of pups on June 2nd had a seizure this afternoon. She was just sitting beside my husband and she fell over seized for about a minute and has seemed to recover fine. We've had no health issues with Molly and are totally shocked! Molly is nursing her litter and I fear what would happen if something happened to her. Anyone have any experience with this breed and seizures?
