Were you feeding her a usual amount each feeding? You might want to feed her small amounts, spaced over 3-4 times per day, but for now, I'd definitely limit her to small amts. of fluids. I'm not sure why he suggested it might be a seizure? From what you've described, I didn't recognize any neurological symptoms. Has she shown any, e.g. staring off into space for short periods? That would be the more subtle type of seizure, a petite mal. She definitely doesn't present with the signs of a Gran Mal siezure, where the dog loses all muscular, neurological focus and control.
If he thinks it's pancreatitis, he'd definitely want to do some basic blood work and usually it's accompanied by a fever. Does she throw up her food very soon after eating, a few minutes, or longer, say 1/2 hr. or so? If that's the case, the food is already well into the digestive tract and she may have some sort of obstruction and an abdominal x-ray would help to verify that.
As I wrote before, my Star had similar symptoms along with the grass eating etc. I'd definitely get her back in to your "regular" vet for some laboratory work up/x-ray, etc. I think in Holly's case though, as Corinna has said, the major culprit is grass grazing!!! Grass blades are sharp and can be VERY irritating to the GI tract! Hope you can get your sweetie diagnosed and treated very soon.
