This is great advice. Corinne and I must read the same website
The ice pack is great advice and the ice cream is another great tip. The reason ice cream is better than nutrical (for a seizure) is because of the fat...the fat makes it so the sugar isn't absorbed all at once. I always kept Breyers all natural vanilla for Lexxi.
Have I shared any websites with you yet? I have at least one very informative one, if you're interested.
Thoughts are going out to you...I know how scary they are!

Has he been tested for diabetes? I just thought about it because you mentioned his blood sugar. Unfortunately he may just be epiliptic.

There are things you can do to help him incase he has another episode.
Keep an ice pack in the freezer, as soon as he starts to seize, put the ice pack on his lower back - between the last rib and his tail. It helps to keep the internal temp down and seems to shorten the length of the seizure and also the recovery time. Also, give him a small amout of icecream (vanilla) it not only boosts up the sugar level but also aids in cooling him down.

Keep a seizure diary / log and indicate the time it starts and ends along with what he was doing before during and after. It really helped my vet that I kept records of Jewel's episodes.

My heart is reaching out to you.
