Top Tips for Managing Pet Seizures Naturally

Does your pet get seizures? Sudden jerking, twitching, drooling or disorientation in dogs and cats can be frightening to witness — but you’re not alone. Many pets experience seizures, and there are safe, natural ways to support them at home.

In this guide, the Feelgood Health Team shares expert insights on what causes seizures in pets, what to do when they happen, and the best natural remedies to manage symptoms and support nervous system health.

What Causes Pet Seizures?

Seizures happen due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can be triggered by:

• Epilepsy or other neurological disorders
• Head trauma or injury
• Exposure to toxins or poisons
• Low blood sugar in diabetic pets
• High fever
• Tumours or underlying disease
• Nutritional deficiencies (especially in lactating pets)

Did you know? Not all seizures look the same. Some are full-body convulsions, while others may just be facial twitching or limb stiffness.

Symptoms of Seizures in Pets

Common signs to look out for:

• Muscle twitching or stiff limbs
• Drooling or foaming at the mouth
• Jerking movements or convulsions
• Sudden collapse
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
• Disorientation or drowsiness afterward

Seizures can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. Always track the length and frequency for your vet.

Top Natural Tips to Support a Pet with Seizures

1. Create a Safe Environment

If your pet is prone to seizures:

• Keep pools covered to avoid drowning
• Use baby gates to block off stairs
• Remove sharp furniture or hazards
• Avoid collars with tags (opt for microchipping)

2. Steps To Follow During a Seizure

• Remain as calm as possible.
• Do not try to restrain your pet
• Move furniture or hazards away
• Avoid touching your pet’s mouth
• Turn off lights and reduce noise

Once the seizure stops, keep your pet warm and quiet. Call your vet if seizures happen frequently or if recovery takes longer than 24 hours.

3. Use Natural Remedies for Ongoing Support

Natural remedies can help calm the nervous system, reduce seizure frequency, and promote long-term wellness.

• EaseSure – A popular formula that manages acute seizures and epilepsy in cats and dogs, and reduces post-seizure symptoms like drowsiness or confusion.
• Cannapaw Oil – Full-spectrum oil that helps balance the nervous system, reduce inflammation and promote relaxation in pets.
• Mag Phos Tissue Salt – A natural mineral remedy that helps soothe muscle spasms and nervous tension — perfect for pets with twitching or tremors.

4. Track Symptoms

Keep a log of:

• How long the seizures last
• Frequency and possible triggers
• Recovery symptoms

Seek urgent vet care if:

• Seizures happen back-to-back
• Your pet isn’t recovering
• They show signs of lethargy, confusion or won’t eat
