Hi,

Thanks for taking care of these precious babies.

I highly recommend that you consult with another vet, preferably a feline specialist. The kitten needs a thorough neurological exam, and needs her blood glucose tested. She also needs to be tested for FeLV, which can cause seizures in kittens. Even though she is tiny, a small amount of blood can be drawn. It only takes a drop of blood to check blood glucose and 3 drops to run a leukemia test. It's very important to try and determine the cause of the seizures.

I would not try to treat these seizures with anything on my own. Even natural products are often toxic to cats.

Take care, and please keep us updated. I'll keep your baby in my thoughts and prayers.

Regards,
PHKitkat
