Here is our story....may or may not apply to your dog. Our dog never had seizures. Then one day after we had changed her dog food she had one. About a week later she had another. The vet said not to worry unless she started having several or they lasted more than 5 minutes. I started trying to remember anything and everything that we had done recently (before she had the first one). I made my mental list of what those things were. I ruled out things. The one big thing was that we had changed her dog food. We ended up changing her dog food...including the brand, the protein source, and the vegetable. No more seizures.
I read that all dogs are prone to seizures. Most have a high tolerance and so never have a seizure. Some dogs have a much lower tolerance for their trigger and they seize. So the dog food was probably fine for other dogs, but my dog had a low tolerance for an ingredient in it.
So if this is something that just started recently, you might try to think of anything you fed your dog differently or something you started using around your house that is different, or something you've done differently to try to figure out if it is something you change to stop the seizures without having to revert to putting your dog on medication.
