Seizure in older cat

Question
I have a cat who is almost 20, does not go outside & just had a seizure, she has never had one before. My 6 year old found her in the middle of it. We live in a small town & there are no vets at this hour. What can I do!!??

Answer
Hello Tanay, Sorry, there is not much you can do for her except keep her safe when seizing.  Move her away from any furniture so she doesn't hurt herself.  Only a vet can help her with seizure medications.  Tanay, you know, she is now 20 years old and there may not be much anyone can do for her.  Just keep her comfortable and give her love and kisses.

Sorry, I don't have too much hope for her... A vet may be able to help but she is so very elderly.

Best of luck to you...
