She also had them one after the other for a few days. My vet prescribe potassium bromide to help control the seizures. You need to feed her every couple of hours as well as give Nutra-Cal. It took a couple of weeks for the seizures to stop and for my puppies personality and energy to return. Your puppy is very fragile right now but she can get better. The seizures are frightening to watch. I am sorry you are going through this. Best Wishes.
Also, check to see if the puppy has a tight, bloated or potbelly. It sounds crazy but parasites can cause seizures too. I spent tons of money on bile acid tests, complete blood counts, and x-rays. We didn't even think about worms because she had been dewormed several weeks before. However, turns out she did have worms and her health improved and seizures stopped once we dewormed her again. Good luck.
