I found a 4 week old kitty out in the hot sun about 4 days ago. I took her to the vet and they gave me KMR to feed her. Everything was fine until yesterday when she started having seizures. The vet said it could be she wasn’t being fed frequently and didn’t have enough nutrients so she’s being fed every 2 hours. Today she was good all day until about 2 pm when she began having seizures once more. She didn’t have a major seizure it was more of tiny little spasms? She had one big seizure but when she has them she will go back to like nothing ever happened. I’m really worried about my little Luna

4 Week Old Kitty Having Seizures

what exactly is the KMR you got?
The usual need is 8 ml / 30 grammes, so a 300gram kitten will need 10x8 = minimum 80 ml kmr / goats milk during the day.
Goats milk is usually safe - read safer, than kmr of unsure source...
Its not too hot at your place? Enough hydrated? Have some clear flavorless pedialyte too, to be sure there are enough salts. You can dilute the pedialyte some.
There are also possibilites to make your own basic pedialyte - water, some minerale kitchen salt, some honey. Not more salt nor honey than you barely feel the taste.
Why? humans can get seizures by lack of salts, so probably also kittens.
Also being dehydrated or too hot may cause seizures.

Better unflavored, less ingredients if nothing else.
This premixed kmr isnt really good.
The bottle is cheap so its an excellent starter.
But in the longer run buy the same brand - in powder. Much more reliable.
Or go for goats milk - esp if you can get it raw.
Ps that said this brand isnt known for causing seizures.

She hasn’t had a seizure since 3 am hopefully she’ll start to have them less. It was kind of hot in my room even with 2 fans on so I think it may be the heat as well taking a toll on her. I’ll be buying the powder and unflavored pedialyte. The vet told me when she has seizures it doesn’t look like she’s in pain she’ll have them and then go back to being a normal kitty, walking around and exploring everything
