Lucky our rott/shep mix starting having seizures when he was 3 yrs old. They are never very severe except the one time he had a grand mal. He got just as stiff as a board for what seemed like an eternity. The vet checked him out thoroughly and could not find any underlying factor. He deemed it idiopathic seizures. We have kept accounts of it over the years and not one thing seems to be common when he does have one. Sometimes he looses bladder control but usually he just shakes and wants us to touch him. The one thing he ALWAYS does though is he starts doing things in reverse from his normal behavior. I assume it is part of the seizure but I guess it could be him trying to let me know to help him.
I have noticed though that in the summer he appears to have them more than cooler months. Might be just a coincidence but none the less it appears so. Lucky will be 8 this month.
