My cat has seizures. Vet suggested Tegretol, but warned it's lethal.
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 would reach for more traditional anti-seizure drugs such as phenobarbital. This is something your veterinarian can prescribe for him. Good luck and have a good day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

My cat has liver disease. What seizure medication dosage is safe?
I'm sorry to hear that your kitty has liver disease. Unfortunately we legally cannot provide you with doses of medication for your pet without first doing an in person examination. I would consult with the vet that diagnosed Crystal with this condition and they should be more than willing to give you the proper doses of the medication you are inquiring about. Also I would highly recommend getting Crystal on the rx diet for liver disease. Your vet can give you a prescription for this food. This is the mainstay treatment for liver disease in pets. You should also get Crystal on Denamarin as well to help preserve liver function. I hope that your kitty Crystal does well moving forward. Best wishes and take care.

My cat has seizures. Can I give gabapentin and what's the dose?
Gabapentin is no longer used for seizures as there are much more effective medications. max needs to be examined by the veterinarian today to be tested for different causes of seizures and then to discuss the best medication. I hope this helps and that Max responds to treatment.

My cat has seizures. Can I safely give her CBD oil and antibiotics?
Hi there! As long as the CBD oil is labeled for use in cats, I have often used it in both cats and dogs as adjunctive therapy for different ailments. I haven't had any problems prescribing different antibiotics at the same time as the CBD oil. Keep in mind, it may or may not help the seizures, but it definitely can't hurt (as long as it's labeled for use in cats to avoid toxic reactions of any kind). I hope you find this answer helpful! Best of luck! Also, this is the brand we carry: http://sevenleafpets.com/

My cat has epilepsy. How can I reduce seizures without medication?
Yes, I would make an appointment to discuss medication options with your vet and to rule out any other underlying or treatable conditions causing the seizures. While the meds may be lifelong, they are better in the long-term than letting your cat have seizures constantly which could lead to accidents, injury, or death. Your vet may also be able to work with you on a cohesive treatment plan in combination with medications that may help reduce seizures.
