A Potential Seizure

My husband and I both work full-time.  Laura, our dog sitter, comes everyday which makes me feel better that someone is there to check on our boys while we are away.  However, they spend 6 to 8 hours alone each work day, that is a lot time for seizures to happen.

My husband came home today and Spike was acting weird.  Normally, Spike greets us   at the door wiggling like mad.  Once he greets us, he runs to his toy box to get a toy to present to my husband.  Today Spike did not greet my husband at the door, but was pacing and agitated, he did not want to sit still or be touched.  Scott searched the house and found foam and urine on the carpet in the office.  We suspect Spike had a seizure.

By the time I got home, Spike was back to behaving normally.  I talked to Laura who said that Spike played extra hard today, he went on 2 play dates.  Spike is a great player, he runs and wrestles.  He has never met a dog that he does not like.  I wanted to think positive that he did not have seizure, maybe he just played too hard.  I know that he had seizure, but I hate to think about him being alone and seizing.
