I know his heart rate goes up after a seizure because I can feel it with my hands when I try to calm him down. I've been reading more about the methods you mentioned in one of your comments below and it feels like a "holter" is something that could help. I can't find any commercial solution though but I'll talk to the vet about it.
Very useful links! In the end, seems like my best option is to use a BLE sensor of some sort (others mentioned vibration sensors which also look interesting). Thanks a lot for your help!
They are similar, yes, but they might happen if he's under a table or a bed which makes video tracking really difficult. Someone suggested using a bodycam and that might be an interesting solution, if I can find one that streams video instead of just storing it in an SD card.
Right, I'm already compiling a list and contacting customer support - things look better for dog owners but there are a few options for cats as well. Thanks a lot for the help!
The bodycam is a very interesting idea, but I need to find one that could possibly stream video instead of just storing it for later viewing. Adding this to my growing googling backlog :) Thanks a lot for the help!
All the solutions I found online seem pretty bulky and mostly used during surgery or for short-time monitoring. However, thanks to your comment, I found PetPace and I've already contacted them to see if their collar could help. Thanks a lot for your answer!
This is useful! Someone else mentioned PineTime which is pretty similar to the P8 and writing custom firmware in Python definitely sounds less daunting. I'll buy one since it's pretty cheap and see if Yuri can tolerate it on his collar. Thanks a lot!
No idea on the cause and no family history for her, she was from the local rescue. Keto was in the zeitgeist at the time. I had looked at it for weight loss, but in learning about it, found that it has been advocated for epilepsy well before insulin was readily available.
I thought I was using a decent cat food before, but it had a bunch of grain in it, which cats obviously wouldn't eat in the wild. So it was essentially a cheap experiment that worked out. I consulted with my vet on it first and they basically said, why not give it a try?
