Various things can cause a seizure believe it or not, even parasite infection, ie worms coccidia giardia. Make sure it isn't one of these but your vet would need to screen/treat if that is the case.
If seizuring from LS, I would suspect I would also see the other symptoms such as head pressing, circling, anorexia. One symptom is not enough to be sure of LS.
Also, Bile Acids can be high due to other causes than liver shunt. If they are high and LS is still suspected, ultra sound and especially a colour doplar can give you a proper diagnosis. Never go with just the BA result. Even sulpha meds for treating coccidia can give a high BA reading just for one example.
