Abstract	A domestic female cat with short fur that was 1 year old and weighed 3 kg was brought to the Parel campus of the Mumbai Veterinary College in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Past eating poisoned rats, ongoing seizure episodes, recent kitten delivery, and lateral recumbency. A clinical examination indicated dehydration, a high body temperature (104°F), nystagmus, mydriasis, and ongoing seizures. WBC and liver enzyme levels are elevated according to blood tests. The cat was given injections of acetyl-cysteine @ 140 mg/kg and then reduced to 50 mg/kg B.W., mannitol @ 0.5 mg/kg B.W., antipyretic, antibiotics, and nervine tonics, as well as normal saline. These treatments were used to manage the cat's seizures. Eight days of therapy resulted in a full recovery for the cat.
