Cats foaming at the mouth and convulsing may be caused by poisoning, epilepsy, feline plague, etc. No matter what the cause is, this situation is very dangerous for cats. If not treated in time, the cat's life may be in danger at any time. Therefore, it is recommended that owners take their cats to the pet hospital for treatment as soon as they discover any abnormalities to avoid irreparable consequences.
1. Poisoning
If a cat accidentally eats toxic substances, such as rat poison, cockroach poison, disinfectant, etc., it will damage the cat’s nerves, causing the cat to foam at the mouth and twitch. Severe cases can lead to shock or even death. Therefore, when the owner discovers that the cat has been exposed to poison and develops symptoms, he must take the cat to the pet hospital for detoxification treatment in time to avoid irreparable damage.
2. Epilepsy
If the cat is foaming at the mouth and convulsing, it is also accompanied by incontinence of urine and feces, partial or whole body spasms, trembling and unconscious limb paddling, etc. If symptoms appear, it may be an epileptic seizure, which usually lasts 1-3 minutes. At this time, what the owner has to do is to keep the cat as quiet as possible, avoid external stimulation, and prevent mechanical damage, and then take the cat to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
3. Cat plague
When cat plague is in the later stages, the cat’s nerves will become abnormal, and the cat will have convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and may also be accompanied by listlessness, Symptoms such as loss of appetite, fever, and bloody stools, especially cats with incomplete or unvaccinated vaccinations, are more susceptible to feline distemper. Because feline plague is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate, owners must send their cats to the pet hospital for treatment in time.
