Seizures are a common presenting complaint in cats, although causes and options for the treatment of seizures in this species have been historically poorly described in the veterinary literature. Seizure manifestation in cats may be different than what is typically seen in dogs, but the underlying causes of seizure activity are the same. These include primary epilepsies, structural epilepsies, and reactive seizures. Although primary epilepsy was once believed to be rare in cats, we now commonly appreciate this syndrome, albeit at a lower frequency than in dogs. Because of this, a complete diagnostic work-up is recommended for all cats presenting for initial evaluation of seizures. Symptomatic treatment of seizures in cats is similar to dogs, with only a few limitations related to species-specific antiepileptic drug toxicities. The goal of this review is to summarize the recent veterinary literature related to feline seizures, with a focus on seizure classification, clinical manifestation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment options.
癫痫发作是猫常见的就诊主诉，尽管该物种癫痫发作的病因及治疗选择在兽医文献中历来描述甚少。猫的癫痫发作表现可能与犬类常见的表现不同，但癫痫活动的潜在病因是相同的。这些病因包括原发性癫痫、结构性癫痫和反应性癫痫。虽然原发性癫痫曾被认为在猫中罕见，但我们现在普遍认识到这种综合征，尽管其发生频率低于犬类。因此，对于所有因癫痫发作进行初次评估的猫，建议进行全面的诊断检查。猫癫痫发作的对症治疗与犬类相似，只是在特定物种抗癫痫药物毒性方面存在一些限制。本综述的目的是总结近期与猫癫痫发作相关的兽医文献，重点关注癫痫发作的分类、临床表现、诊断评估和治疗选择。
