any particular flea meds that you noticed that caused this?


This is the culprit more often than not. Did you try a new one recently? Sometimes takes weeks before it will cause the dog to become ill/seize. Had the same issue with an elderly cat. Used Frontline for years then the vet gave her the 6 month shot. Started seizing a few weeks later. Went back to Frontline and she has no issues now.

Ok. I had a golden retriever that started having a seizures when I was in college. Scared the crap out me. I had never seen anything human or animal have a seizure. They are more common than you would believe especially in certain breeds.
The dog will not know where it is for about 5-10 minutes after. It will be very unnerving to watch it happen you feel helpless.I monitored but left it alone. They might bite you not out of anger so be careful during that time. Once it seemed to calm down I reassured it. This occurred a few times over the next couple months. Obviously talked to vet. In this case the dog was overweight. Vet recommended changing of the food it ate. In my dogs case when it lost weight the seizures just disappeared. I am sure there are other problems that your could have. I know they can prescribe phenobarbital that will aide in seizures. Good luck to the doggo.
