[quote=Anonymous]I've had a number of foster dogs and a dog of my own who had seizures, but they were all seniors unlike your dog. It is very frightening if you've never seen it before. I would schedule a visit with your regular vet rather than going straight to an emergency vet. The reason is that there isn't much they can do for your dog after a seizure, unless your dog keeps seizing and doesn't stop. I learned this after a costly emergency vet visit where it cost me several hundred dollars to check him out and put an IV in him "just in case." There was no "treatment" they could give him. They wanted to keep hm for observation overnight but I took him home because he has separation anxiety and would have been miserable. None of my dogs ever had another seizure so I didn't do anything in the end. Given your dog's young age, definitely have your regular vet see him and rule out epilepsy or some other underlying cause.
