• Epilepsy (P-X-0702) - Hereditary - Chronic - All Pets - Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
• Epilepsy in animals (P-X-0703) - Hereditary - Chronic - Congenital - All Pets - Epilepsy in animals is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
