When I took him in his temp was still low and sugar was low again.
He had a shot for his sugar at 7pm, so they said it was very odd
that his sugar was low again. They are keeping him over night
to stabilize him again and monitor him. Since this is the first time
that this has happened then they are pretty sure its a Hypoglycemia seizure.
They recommended that I try feeding him 3 times a day instead of 2. They dont want to put him on any seizure medication because the vet said that he was too young and it is pretty bad for their liver. I will know more information tomorrow.
Once again...Thank you for your advice, help, and prayers! They are all very much appreciated. Thank you.

did they do blood work and you need to get bats done on him asap to test his liver as my concern is liver shunt due to being 8 mos and epilepsy starts usually about age of 3 so doubt this is epilepsy - Hypoglycemia and liver shunt go hand in hand and signs of liver shunt are seizures and usually start before one year old
I hope this is not the case but you need to rule this out since this breed is 38% more likely to have liver issues and now you have a seizure symptom
at 6 mos i highly doubt this was hypoglycemia as that happens in smaller dogs not 6lbs
they can go a while without eating at that size
also most vets are not real up on liver shunt and mvd
so please pursue this testing to rule this out
hoping they kept him to do bile acids this morning as well
