Treating Epilepsy in Cats

ScienceDaily (Sep. 2, 2011) — Cats are known to have types of epileptic seizures in which consciousness is usually impaired although not all of the body is affected. New research by Akos Pakozdy and colleagues at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna shows that cats that suffer in this way have changes in the hippocampus, the part of the brain most commonly affected in human epilepsy.

Although cats with such epileptic seizures may not respond immediately to treatment, they sometimes do so within a few days and if treatment continues they may once again show normal behaviour. The findings are published in the current issue of the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery.
