When we saw the vet last for her annual, she had had 2 seizures by then. He was puzzled by them but we were in the midst of a UTI and were handling that first. So now that it has been a few months I am watching her and noting how long they last, etc.
I am not sure it is epilepsy but her seizures mimic Teddy's to a "T".
So maybe we will look in that direction.
I had a dog growing up that had epilepsy and she lived a full life with it. No problems once on the meds.
Good Luck with Teddy. Poor baby. My heart breaks for him...and you.

What did the vet say about how to handle him during a seizure?
