Rita,
Hi — totally agree with anon101 above. You definitely should consult with a neurologist. Sounds like the same thing our boy struggles with, and we finally got a “gustatory seizure” diagnosis. Our regular (general practice) vet was stumped for years, and it’s really best to go to a neurology specialist. If you can, take a video to share with the doctor — that helps with diagnosis. Also if you can keep a log of when it happens, how long, what was your dog doing just before it starts, etc.
If your dog starts to have a seizure and you can’t stay home to supervise, although it seems harsh, you definitely want to crate your dog with no blankets, beds, or toys. If it is a gustatory seizure, it makes them eat inedible objects, which can be extremely dangerous. Please keep us posted and good luck!
