Here's more tips that really helps.

Put an ice pack on the lower back. It helps to bring them out of the seizure more quickly. It has to be between the lower rib cage and their tail. It won't work anywhere else.

Humans need to stay calm and talk to them in a soothing way.

DON'T put your fingers in their mouth! Dogs can not swallow their toungues.

Give them a little nutrical, honey or vanilla ice cream after.

Give them lots of love and praise for how brave they were during the episode!

If the seizure lasts more than 1 full minute or if they have more than 3 in a 24 hour period, take them to the nearest vet ASAP! A long seizure or cluster of seizures can cause permanent brain damage.
