Oh God Caren, I know you are scared to death! Did your vet think they could be seizures? Our first dog Basil had seizures that looked very similar. The vet put him on a common seizure medication- I am totally blanking on the name but the same on humans take and he was completely fine after that. He had to have blood work twice a year to make sure the medication level was okay but that was it. I know I almost had major heart attacks until he was diagnosed. Spike and I are sending you big hugs and kisses Murphy!

Edit- just remembered the meds- it was Phenobarbitol. Worked like a charm.
