What to do If Your Pet has a Fit

It can be very distressing to witness your pet having a fit. In many cases, the fit will only last for a few minutes at the most.

What to do if you see your pet having a fit:

• move furniture and any objects out of the way to prevent injury to the animal


• avoid touching or comforting your pet during the fit as you may be accidently bitten or injured


• contact your veterinarian if fitting continues beyond a few minutes


• if you need to transport a fitting pet to a veterinary clinic for emergency treatment, find a big thick blanket to wrap the animal in and be very wary of claws and teeth in the process
