As interfaces da epilepsia idiopática em felino
Epilepsy consists of a neurological pathology that affects the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by clinical manifestations of convulsive crises and recurrent temporal paroxysmal episodes, and is idiopathic when its cause cannot be determined. This study aims to describe the association between the clinical signs of idiopathic epilepsy in a feline and the results of complementary exams. The animal received immediate post-crisis treatment, with supportive therapy being instituted. The administration of phenobarbital (40 mg/ml, 1-4 mg/kg every 12 hours) demonstrated efficacy in controlling seizures, with an absence of new generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The results suggest the importance of supportive care, and that the use of phenobarbital is effective in controlling seizures and stabilizing the patient's clinical condition.
