Seizures in dogs and cats can be caused by many different illnesses.  Epilepsy, also known as a seizure disorder, is commonly seen in animals. If your pet has a seizure, diagnostic tests will need to be performed before a proper course of treatment is determined.  Your regular veterinarian will manage your pet's seizures long term or may even refer you to a specialist.  Our doctors diagnose seizures and temporarily manage them until your regular veterinarian is available.
