Clinical Challenges:
Epileptic seizures are a relatively common neurological presentation in cats, yet determining the underlying cause can be challenging due to the broad range of differential diagnoses.Diagnostic approach:A systematic approach, including thorough history-taking, physical and neurological examination, and appropriate diagnostic testing, is critical to accurately identifying the underlying cause and guiding effective management strategies.
Audience:
This review is aimed at veterinarians who manage feline patients presenting with epileptic seizures and outlines their features and differentials, as well as a guide to diagnosis.
