I don't remember that post but my Snoopy started having seizures about two weeks ago. His started like your dog's but progressed to a grand mal one where he lost all control of the functions of his body. I was never so scared in my life! I thought he was dying before my eyes. As I looked back over the day before he had the big one, he had little seizures too. He is now on Phenibarbital and probably will be the rest of his life.

The vet says some dogs do have a tendency to seizures and if their owners can handle seeing them and they aren't frequent - more than once a month - or severe - they often don't do anything for them. However if they start to cluster, happen more often or last a long time - it is time to get them on medicine. They did a blood test on Snoopy to determine if they was any other cause. If you are concerned, you might ask your vet to do a blood test. From what others have told me, thyroid problems can also cause seizures. You might want to check that out with your vet too.
