What is New in Feline Epilepsy?

Epileptic seizures in cats can represent a real challenge in their recognition. While dogs frequently suffer from generalised tonico-clonic seizures, cats experience more frequently partial seizures which can be difficult for the owner to recognise as such as being epileptic seizures. Among those type of challenging partial seizures, cats can suffer from complex partial seizures with orofacial manifestation associated with limbic encephalitis, a condition also seen in human mostly as a paraneoplastic encephalitis. Another peculiarity of feline seizures is the recently described feline auditory reflex seizures (FARS) in older cats having myoclonic and/or generalised seizures as a result of a specific sound. This webinar will give you a video tour of different types of seizures in cats as well as highlight differences in commonly encountered underlying causes as well as recommendations and particularities of anti-epileptic drugs used in feline epilepsy.
