Any vets up? Dog just had a seizure

Update: dog is fine, apparently these are common, thanks for all your help.
11 year old female lab just had about a 2 minute seizure. 1st ever. Called emergency clinic and they said there isn't much we can do or need to do unless she has more or longer seizures. Called my vet and he hasn't called back yet. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. She's up and moving but really disoriented. Won't lay down just kind of pacing around and panting

Our chihuahua always had seizures. She lived for 7 years. She died a few months ago.
One old lady told me to give the dog syrup when she would have a seizure. It appeared to help.
Of course, ask your vet.

Got her to lay down. Seems to be doing ok. Planning on taking her into vet in morning. Could still use any advice from vets or anybody who has dealt with similar experience.

Not what you want to hear but one of my dogs passed from a seizure last year. I couldn't get her to stop seizing. I will never forget the sound she was making and watching her last breath.

My dog has had these problems for a couple of years. If she has one, best thing to do just let it lie down and relax, and drink some water to calm down and hydrate until you can talk to your vet. Just try to contact him/her as soon as possible to have your dog take some pills. Those pills work pretty well so as long as your dog takes them, the seizures should stop. My dog has not had another seizure after taking medicine.

Our lab had his 1st seizure around 12 yrs. Just kept him calm, rested & hydrated after each and made sure he was breathing well and had good motor functions. Just lost hmm last year at 15 yrs
Brought him in just for the ride when kitty had his annual exam. Vet looked at the way his back legs moved (or didn't) and said it was time. Some neurological thing that would eventually paralyze his esophagus and he would die from inability to breathe.
Long story - get him checked by vet. Probably ok as long as he can breathe and move properly. Watch him long term and ask vet what to look for.
Good luck!

My 8 year old Havanese started having violent seizures when she was around 4 - they lasted at least 2 to 3 minutes followed by a bowel movement and sometimes vomiting, this would occur at least 2 or 3 times a month. My vet ran various test over a two week period and put her on Phenobarbital 60MG/ML 0.05ml twice daily. It took about 6 months for it to finally kick in. She has maybe 3 or 4 light seizures a year now. The downside to this is liver function, your dog is 11 - I am sure they will have to monitor her along with the residue from the Phenobarb with quartley blood test. Good luck.

My aunt has three chihuahuas that have seizure. She takes a syring with out the needle and puts a little Karo syrup in it Then squirting a little water in their mouths and the snap right out of it Not a lot to Karo tho

Sounds like an isolated event based on anesthesia. Trust me when I say that this incident was more traumatic for you than her.

The dog is probably faking it for attention. Try giving him a pound of chocolate before he has another one.

Two things, seizures aren't that bad as long as it isn't 10+ times a day and they aren't hurting themselves while seizing up.
Inject 8cc of karo syrup into her mouth, dont freak out and go to some vet who isnt going to charge you $$$ and prescribe her phenobarbatol(sp?) for the rest of her life.. because once she starts taking phenobarb, so has to be on it for life.
