Seizure First Aid.
Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it.
100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)
I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.
I’ve got realtives with Epilepsy and I can promise this is 100% what you are supposed to do. It’s also normal for people to be very tired and confused right after a siezure, so be sure to stay with them until help or someone they know arrives.
This also goes for animals having seizures, too. Especially be careful not to be bitten or scratched (or kicked in the case of large animals)!
Definitely call your vet if your animal is having seizures. It may be idiopathic epilepsy, but it also could be something more life-threatening, like a tumor, infectious disease, or other underlying condition. And even if it is epilepsy, if it’s severe enough there are medications we can use to help control the seizures and improve the pet’s quality of life.
