The difference between typical movements and a seizure will probably be pretty clear with the right data. I have a dog with epilepsy and his movements during a seizure are extremely different than anything else he does. I'd wager a combination of measures may be the most effective, though not sure how easy they'd be to measure. Overall movement, heart rate, and muscle tension could probably provide a pretty accurate indicator of a seizure. Unfortunately, muscle tension is probably the most important and (I'd guess) the hardest to measure, especially through fur. There's a decent chance that breathing and heart rate alone will be unique enough, but I'm only speculating. Best of luck with your kitty. For what its worth, we thought we'd lose our dog years ago (many seizures per day), but have largely been able to get things under control with medication. He started at 3 years and he's now nearly 9. We really didn't expect him to get past 4 or 5, so we're very happy. Also, ironically, his medication is supposed to make him tired, but he's still border-line insane. |
