Seizures occur commonly in cats and can be classified as idiopathic epilepsy, structural epilepsy, or reactive seizures. Pursuit of a diagnosis may include a complete blood count, serum biochemistry, brain MRI, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis as indicated. Antiepileptic drugs should be considered if a cat is having frequent seizures, or any 1 seizure longer than 5 minutes. Phenobarbital is often the drug of choice; however, levetiracetam may be more useful for certain types of epilepsy in cats. Long-term prognosis depends on the underlying diagnosis and response to therapy.
癫痫发作在猫中很常见，可分为特发性癫痫、结构性癫痫或反应性癫痫发作。寻求诊断可能包括全血细胞计数、血清生化检查、脑部磁共振成像（MRI）以及视情况进行脑脊液分析。如果猫频繁癫痫发作，或任何一次发作持续超过5分钟，就应考虑使用抗癫痫药物。苯巴比妥通常是首选药物；然而，左乙拉西坦可能对某些类型的猫癫痫更有用。长期预后取决于潜在诊断和对治疗的反应。
