| The only thing that comes to mind is either hypoglycemia or epilepsy. Hypoglycemia can recur very quickly; it can take a day or two for them to fully recover from an episode. I would treat him as if it were this for now (treat the symptoms) but contact your vet. Any abnormal behavior in such a young pup can be very dangerous. Is he eating well? Does he have these episodes when he first wakes up? If it happens when he first wakes up, epilepsy should be considered. but still, treat the symptoms. I have a male that had 2 episodes when he was a pup. They both happened when he first woke up. They were dramatic but passed quickly. He's now 1 1/2 years old and has been fine the whole time except for those 2 episodes. |

| Sounds like a seizure, but you really need to take the puppy to a vet. Especially since it's not just a one time thing. |

| If it's happening some time after eating, then you should probably have your dog bile acid tested...Hypoglycemia happens when they haven't eaten, but if the seizures happen some time after eating, it's not hypoglycemia and could be related to liver shunt... Idiopathic epilepsy is usually not seen in young puppies like this. There is usually something causing it.
