Best Answer

The most likely reason for a dog to have a seizure is epilepsy. However, other causes include ingestion of toxins in the environment (ie, certain foods), brain tumors, tick-induced diseases, and distemper.

Idiopathic epilepsy is a common diagnosis for dogs that have seizures, and it can usually be controlled by anti-epileptic drugs or, preferably, a change in diet/nutrition.
