Kitten experiencing a bad cluster seizure. Details below.
This kitten has recently been put down, but in the process of him developing cluster seizures, I found other, similar videos helpful in my research so, I'm sharing this one in hopes that it'll be helpful to someone else.
**Details which were important to include based on my resulting research:
We found him when he was a day or two old.
He'd fallen off the 14 foot high, 2nd floor porch of the abandoned apartment building in front of our property.
He was given an initial examination which concluded that there was no visible signs of damage to his being.
With no mom in sight at that time, we bottle fed him around the clock for 4 days until we were able to identify and procure the mother cat who, then, nursed him and his brother until weaning at 8 weeks old.
From the time we found him until the time we put him down, he was an exclusively indoor cat.
The kitten was 10 weeks old when he first started having seizures.
He started having seizures 2 days after being neutered.
The pain killer, Loxicom, was administered with the anesthesia.
Capstar was given to him the same day by the vet who preformed the neutering.
I do not believe he was tested for preexisting problems prior to being given the anesthesia.
His brother was lethargic coming home to us on the same day after the neutering.
This kitten, however, seemed hyped up and "twitchy" from that same day, and on, until the seizures started to make him lethargic.
He ate less at the soft food meals the last several days before putting him down.
This was the worst one of three seizures in the last 24 hours of his life.
At the 2:31 through the 3:12 mark, the kitten was yowling.
We tried a combination of 2 drops helichrysum and maybe 5 drops lavender essential oil, heavily diluted in 4 tbsp of liquid coconut oil after the first of those three seizures, and just before this seizure.
This one and the last one (the next day) happened shortly after eating. Others may have happened around meals of soft food, but I didn't think of looking for that detail right off.
All seizures woke him from a sleeping state.
There were no other dramatic symptoms of note: no vomiting, no diarrhea, no notable increase in drinking or urination, no swelling or yellowing of the eyes, no yellowing of the skin or paling of the gums.
The vet who put him down, without testing - per our request, believed him to have either had a congenital defect or have suffered some trauma from the fall, trauma which wasn't triggered until maybe after the neutering.
**My children, particularly my daughter, are crying in the background because the days leading up to this seizure were hard on them - realizing that their kitten was taking a bad turn, and that putting him down was imminent. This seizure came on suddenly and was particularly bad.
As for my parenting: I was trying to capture the seizure for the vet and at the same time get my children away from watching what was upsetting to them. All future comments criticizing my children's response or my parenting will be deleted - stop being assholes.

    My cat has a seizure about every 4 to 6 weeks but I don’t think I could cope with 2 in one day! I heard in another video I watched that massaging the back of the neck just before the onset of a seizure helps shorten or even stops the seizure and may even make them less frequent, I haven’t tried it yet because I only just learnt this recently since my cats last seizure and it would cost nothing to give it a go, I hope it helps someone!

    I love that you can handle all that and keep it together for the most part, however, next time one should warn the kids that freaking out won’t help the situation and will make the one seizing more scared, also, it is best to try and comfort the one seizing even if they can’t hear as that will help keep them calm to some extent, i am going off of what I’ve learned and I am no way a professional Veterinarian. Edit; I mean this as criticism, not to be rude as you handled things as well as you could.

    We as people of this world have a choice. We can live in sin or we can look at the Lord the highest and give thanksgiving for the trials and the Good memories. Dont worry about whats on the other side dont worry what happens after death God will take care of us all if we look around right now we already have more then enough proof of God so i choose to share God's love with you. Just trust in God repent and learn to forgive others. Just love Jesus Christ of Nazareth and you will be forgiven walk away from sin and turn to the father. He has a place already prepared for you and all your family. But remember that hell is also real the lake of fire hades awaits for thise whom dont repent and love sin and do wicked and evil things and sell their souls for silver and gold and or money. Money is temporary God is permanent. There is nothing better then being with God in heaven. I'd rather sleep tonight and wake up in Jesus arms right now then live forever on this earth. I am only here as God's messager and I'm here to share God's truthful words with you through the bible. Jesus took our sin and casted the punishment onto himself so to save us sinners if that wasn't good enough for you people then nothing will be. God is giving you so many opportunities to repent so you don't go to the eternal fire of punishment and crying ive saw countless videos of people talking about the afterlife experience they had the dead relatives they've seen. So if you believe then pray tonight. Pray for family if you dont already. I want to not just enlighten already repented people's of God but new ones aswell. There's Christans among you that haven't repented who use God for good reputation so let God punish him or her in his own way. Trust in God never speak poorly of the father. Rejecting God results in God rejecting you when you walk up to the gate of heaven. You will stand before tje Lord the highest in the courtroom and be judged by the ultimate judge you will be judged and praised for the good and bad. So do more good then evil reduce the evil that you do best you can.

    If the child hasn't been educated yet about what's happening, they need to be. It's hard enough to be there for the furry, to add a hysterical child to the mix places more stress on everyone and the headache that comes after the seizure could actually cause another seizure (yes stress, and even fleas, can cause a seizure onset). Y'all dealt with it beautifully, and I hope the kitty got help, and not euthanized 🥺

Even though I knew it wasn't real I ended up sobbing through it, needless to say I informed my GP and promptly started tapering off the next morning. I can't imagine how much harder it must be to for you all witness in reality, with a beloved family member. I hope in 2023 everyone is doing better and has had the opportunity to process the grief and trauma <3

    I know you posted this 2 years ago, but just found it after I experienced this with my rescue, Miles. He was an older cat, and his history over 10 years was largely unknown. Everything was fine with him for about 2 years until one day he woke from a sound sleep with a violent seizure. He then had no idea where he was or who I was and was very distressed ....it was like he was a different cat dropped into our house suddenly. He continued to have these episodes about every 3 hours, with one of them leaving him paralyzed (unable to move) for about 5-10 minutes. I had him euthanized by an in home service, and the vet actually witnessed and stopped another seizure with the tranquilzer. Thank you sharing this as well as the history. I have never had or seen in my volunteer work a cat having seizures, so this has really helped me to process, and put the pieces together of what he had probably experienced in the 10 years before I adopted him.

And it still hurts years later. Thank you for sharing this though, this little baby is contributing to help many many more babies. I have a foster kitten right now that keeps making funny sounds, but it also is similar to the hairball sound. If she's having seizures I want to get her to the vet, but I don't wanna waste the doctors time with a kitten that's just got a hairball. I'm also a vet tech student so videos like this help me learn. Again thank you so much for sharing this, sending love and hugs for your loss, and give your kiddos a hug for me.
