What to do if your dog or cat seizures | Dr Justine Lee

What should you do if your dog or cat seizures? Dr. Justine Lee, veterinary specialist explains. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do during the actual seizure. If your dog or cat seizures for more than 5 minutes, has multiple seizures in a day (e.g., called cluster seizures), got into something poisonous (that may have resulted in the seizure), or has never had a seizure before, get to a veterinarian or emergency veterinarian immediately.
