Please take her to a vet that knows about LS (most have little to no exp with it) and If her dog food is higher protien I would take her off of it now just in case. All of these things you are describing, the circles, climbing, head pressing, and seizures are all symptoms of LS and since it has come on so fast I would get her on lactulose asap, and lower her protein intake until you can get a definative answer. If it is LS there is a build up of toxins in her system and it can kill her if she continues to take in more toxins than her body can filter through.
I am so sorry that your going through all of this, it is so scary and heartbreaking to see your baby so sick. Please know that my prayers are with you and little Lilly Kisses tonight.
