Rocket was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last month and also arthritis which we have been treating with gabapentin medicine that’s took orally twice a day but today he had 2 seizures one at 2:00 pm and another at 5pm
Given his recent diagnosis of hypothyroidism and arthritis, along with the medication he's on, there are a few potential reasons for the seizures. Hypothyroidism itself can sometimes lead to neurological issues if not well-managed, and certain medications, including gabapentin, can occasionally cause side effects like seizures, although this is rare.
Seizures can be serious, especially when they occur multiple times in a short period. It's crucial to ensure Rocket's safety during a seizure by keeping him away from stairs, sharp objects, and other hazards.
Given the severity of the situation and the fact that Rocket has had multiple seizures in a single day, I recommend seeking immediate veterinary attention. Seizures can indicate an underlying issue that needs prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Please take Rocket to the nearest veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital as soon as possible. If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
