Eclampsia is not common in cats; however, it has been reported (Bjerkas 1974). When it occurs, it is generally associated with queens who have had multiple litters in a short period of time on a substandard diet. A queen with eclampsia will become ataxic, which is followed by an increased respiratory rate, possibly open‐mouth breathing, and then tonic spasms of the limbs. Following an eclampsic event, the queen may also become hypoglycemic. Eclampsia is life‐threatening.
