During a seizure, what is the recommended action regarding the animal?

During a seizure, the recommended action is to create a safe environment for the animal by moving furniture and other objects out of the way. This step is crucial to prevent the animal from injuring itself while it is in a state of involuntary muscle contractions. The primary focus during a seizure should be on ensuring the safety of the animal by minimizing the risk of impact from sharp or hard surfaces.

Restrain the animal or hold it firmly could potentially increase stress or risk of injury, as the animal is already in a compromised state. Yelling for help does not contribute to the immediate safety of the animal and could distract from the necessary task of creating a safe environment. Therefore, clearing the area is the most appropriate action to take during a seizure.
