When did they start having these seizure-like episodes? Are the siblings that are not affected on the same food and are they the same gender? I'm just asking because getting to the bottom of a seizure disorder can be very expensive, and if you can make some of the changes already suggested, (increased canned food, replace food bowls w/SS, remove any foods containing fish, fish meal) it could eliminate some of the possibilities and/or the seizures themselves. The vet can rule out LS, brain tumors, toxins, etc. But many times, when there is no evidence or actual cause that is found, they may just opt to put them on antiseizure meds.
My stepdaughter has a seizure disorder, and the doctors didn't believe us till we videotaped an episode and showed them. Well after a few weeks and a battery of diagnostic tests, the most they could tell us was "her brain is predisposed to seizure-like activity", and put her on meds. And that was through Johns Hopkins Hospital!
