Dogs can have epilepsy just as human beings can have this disease. This is probably the main cause of seizures in dogs. However, the possibility exists that your dog could have a brain tumor. Take the dog to the veterinarian.

Many times, dogs can be Epileptic which causes seizures. It's recommended that you keep a record of when the seizures occur. If the dog has too many seizures in a short period of time, your vet will prescribe Phenobarbital.

One source of seizures, in humans and animals alike, could possibly be a brain tumor. However, regardless of the cause, your dog having a seizure is ALWAYS an indication that something is seriously wrong, and your dog should be taken to the vet ASAP.
