However, because injuries affect cats in numerous ways, increasing their stress and anxiety as well as affecting their physical well-being, this knowledge does not settle the debate on whether the condition is behavioural, epileptic or an umbrella term for several underlying conditions. [6]
Epilepsy attributed to brain tumor, stroke or other trauma is known as secondary or symptomatic epilepsy. There is no known cause for primary or idiopathic epilepsy, which is only diagnosed by eliminating other possible causes for the seizures. Dogs with idiopathic epilepsy experience their first seizure between the ages of one and three ...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI, physical trauma to the brain) can cause a variety of complications, health effects that are not TBI themselves but that result from it. The risk of complications increases with the severity of the trauma; [1] however even mild traumatic brain injury can result in disabilities that interfere with social interactions, employment, and everyday living.

Post-traumatic seizures (PTS) are seizures that result from traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain damage caused by physical trauma. PTS may be a risk factor for or a symptom of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), but a person having a seizure or seizures due to traumatic brain injury does not necessarily have PTE. "PTS" and "PTE" may be used ...
A seizure occurs when this communication is disrupted, and the brain area receives a burst of abnormal electrical signaling, interrupting the normal function. [9] This causes disturbed messages to be sent to other parts of the brain, in turn causing the symptoms of a seizure and can include changes in behavior, consciousness, movements, or ...
Seizures that occur after head injury are not necessarily due to epilepsy or even to the head trauma. [11] Like anyone else, TBI survivors may have seizures due to factors including imbalances of fluid or electrolytes , epilepsy from other causes, hypoxia (insufficient oxygen), and ischemia (insufficient blood flow to the brain).

Symptoms of cerebellar abiotrophy include ataxia or lack of balance, an awkward wide-legged stance, a head tremor (intention tremor) (in dogs, body tremors also occur), hyperreactivity, lack of menace reflex, stiff or high-stepping gait, coarse or jerky head bob when in motion (or, in very young animals, when attempting to nurse), apparent lack ...
