When you take Winston to see the vet next week, ask if you can bring him in immediately when he's having a seizure. Our Bo has seizures from time to time but his is a result of severe head trauma when he was only two weeks old. Long story short, accident, no exactly sure what happened but believe he was attached to mom when she jumped out of the cage to greet my grandkids before school, room was dark and believe a book back wacked him in the head. Bo shouldn't even be here. I hand fed him. He is going to be 4 this coming October. Because he was so young the vet was very hesitant to put him on medication. When the seizures became more frequent and worse, I rushed him in to the vet. That's really the best time for them to see the dog. Needless to say, Bo is mentally challenged but learns more and more with each litter we have. I wish you much luck in finding out the source of the seizures. I know first hand how terrifying they can be. March 2nd Bo had a severe seizure and a stroke. I was fully prepared to have him put to sleep but he showed signs of improvement the following day when I took him to the vet. Most of his seizures don't last too long and I'm usually able to bring him back by holding him tightly and rubbing under his chin and neck with soft talking. Some have been much worse than others to the point I think he quits breathing and his body is as hard as a rock. I thank the good Lord for giving me strength during those times but I know in my heart that with each seizure it could be the last. Hopefully you can find the cause and medication will cure Winston. I'll be praying for him.........and you.
