A video of Norman having a seizure

Hi everyone, herewith a video which I took of Normie whilst he had 2 seizures last Friday. The seizures were less than 10 minutes apart and each seizure lasted about 1 minute. In total he had 8 or 10 seizures that morning. I rushed him to the vet who gave him some valium and Normie fell asleep immediatly thereafter for about 4 hours. After he woke up he was 100% fine again and back to normal. This is what happens when Norman has seizures: Im trying to find a pattern as to why he has seizures. Is it maybe the food Im giving him, as I dont give him anything other than his doggie food and often give him cow hoofs and cow hides to chew. I mentioned to the vet that I was stressed out during the week and asked if that could have had an effect on the doggies? The vet said that dogs can often smell the stress we experience. Normie is back to normal again, but I always have to keep an eye on the little bugger.

I calmly held him in my arms while he was shaking like mad and foam coming out of his mouth, telling him in a calm voice that everything will be ok. It lasted for not more than 5 minutes. I waited for him to get strong enough and took him outside for some fresh air and water. He did not drink the water from his bowl, so I took him to his favourite spot (the basin in the bathroom), opened the tap, picked him up, and let him drink direct from the tap out of the basin... he loved that! He has be...
