My lad had a seizure, on holiday.
We were away in our campervan, on the NE. He had his dinner, everything normal. Dylan was sitting next to me on the bench when without warning he went into a fit. I though t he was choking at first, checked his mouth (yes I know you shouldn't, but I didn't know it was a fit at first). We had just been out for a walk, and I thought maybe he had picked something up. Anyway, he fell over, legs stiff, staring eyes, completely oit of it for a couple of mins, then a few mins very heavy panting. Very scary, I though he was going to die.
After he came out of it he had a long drink, was disoriented and wobbly for a couple of hours, then back to normal. It was Sunday afternoon. I phoned the helpline of our insurance company and booked a call with a vet. She said to keep an eye on him and if he started twitching to get an emergency vet, otherwise book an appointment the next day. We decided to travel home and see our own vets, got an appt for Monday p.m.
Vet said no treatment at present , monitor, take a video if it happens again. There are many causes. I thought he would want a blood test, but he said optional, as he may never have another fit. If he does, then definitely a blood test. Or do we have one anyway? Swithering. He is ten years old and in good health otherwise (apart from dry eye).
Had a childhood spaniel who had fits and lived til 18.
