Seizure logging for pets: what to record and how to share it
Seizures are alarming and chaotic. Precise, quick records — time, duration, and what happened before and after — give your vet the evidence they need and reduce the guessing that increases anxiety.
What to record during a seizure
- Start time and end time (or estimated duration)
- Behaviour during the event (collapse, paddling, vocalising)
- Recovery time and post-ictal behaviour
- Possible triggers (exercise, stress, lights, heat)
- Any medications given and when
Sample seizure log
2026-05-20 14:10 — sudden collapse, full-body convulsion, ~90s. Recovered slowly over 10 minutes; disoriented for 30 minutes. No meds given on scene.
