Please help

Hello I need help, I have a 5 months old cat with epilepsy, my vet told me to give her 2 pills of a medicine called bialminal 100 tablet, after some research I figured the amount of medicine is very high and can cause the cat het life , please help me I need advice or the right dosage

She weights 1.9 kg I forgot to say

Hello - Bialminal is phenobarbital, an anti-epilepsy drug that is heavily subject to prescribing legislation in the UK.  If this box does not have a label with the the correct dose and patient's details printed on it, it has not been legally prescribed and cannot legally be given here, at any dose.   Furthermore, this particular version is not licensed for feline use so your vet should prescribe an alternative that is, wherever one exists.  Please contact a vet who can prescribe appropriately for your cat.  If this was indeed prescribed by a vet with no label, you could also contact the RCVS and report them.

(Hopefully the reason that you are asking this is that you are not in the UK, but a country where the prescription rules are different.  If this is the case, your vet should normally still be subject to prescribing laws for a drug / doses of this kind, so please speak to them about the dosage and local legal requirements as a matter of urgency before giving any tablets to you cat).

I am not in the UK and where I am there is plenty of medicine is not available, this is the only one I managed to get after long time of looking, my vet told me to give my cat 2 pills a day which is like 200 mg ,that would be deadly overdose, that's why I'm trying to figure it out before I give my cat anything

Another question if you don't mind, my cat stopped meowing since she first had her first epilepsy is it normal? She still don't and I want to know if she'll ever meow again

Hello and thankyou for this question; did you sort out the dosing in the end?  How long is it since your cat had their seizure and is it the case that they are trying to miow but no sound is coming out, or have you simply stopped seeing them try / want to?  When did they used to miaow?

Thank you for your reply Liz, when I first found her when she was a kitten she used to meow and purr too very loud, I didn't know she had an epilepsy at first, when it first happened she was fine, then later that night she started walking in circles till she passed out ( I thought shes dying) after hours she was up again then the epilepsy episodes started for like 2 to 3 weeks then it stopped, she started gaining more weight, but since the first time she had her epilepsy she stopped meowing ( only when she get stuck with her claw on something and it hurts her she more like meows aggressively more like a scream) I also noticed that a tiny piece of her front tongue is missing I think she bite it when she was going through her episodes, but so far no meowing no nothing is why I wondered, yes I figured the dosage of her medicine thankfully, the vet dosage was extremely high , I hope you can advise because I'm not sure what to do , thank you again.

Any thoughts Liz , been waiting for your reply.
