I have a shelti/lab cross that is almost 10, she has been having seizures since she was 4. She also is very coherent during her seizures as well, does alot of shaking and right afterwards has to go outside. She has them every couple of months or so. We did find that if she has gotten into something from the table, expecially chicken, she has a seizure immediately, it can also happen during season changes as well. We have not put her on any meds yet because they say it changes them and where she only has them every couple of months, I don't want to give her anything unless she was having alot of them. I also do not give her any shots, when I phoned the vet, and questioned them about seizures, I asked if the needle could have caused it or if it may make them worse, there answer to both questions was maybe, now known of my dogs have any shots after 4 months. I find just holding them, amking them feel safe, and having everything as quiet as possible brings her out of them faster, hope this helps.
