Caring for Your Pet After a Seizure or Neurological Condition

Experiencing a neurological episode can be very distressing for both pets and their owners. Our veterinary team is here to help stabilize your pet’s condition and address any symptoms. Once they are ready to go home, we want to ensure their comfort with the following guidance:

Creating a Safe Environment

During recovery, it’s important to provide a calm, secure space for your pet. Choose a quiet room or corner away from distractions and loud noises. Pets may feel disoriented even in familiar surroundings after a neurological episode, and this confusion can last up to 24 hours. Be aware that there may be an increased risk of further seizures during the early stages of recovery.
