“my question is .. does it ever stop ?? or do you have episodes with your dogs every now and then ?? Also do you leave your dog in a crate when you are at work ?? and if you do how long is he confined . I just hate the thought that he will eat something and not pass it … but as this only happens occassionally i would hate to have him crated all the time while i am at work . What do you do?”

See my above posts and Dennis M’s. Of course no one here is a veterinarian that has examined your dog. Nor is anyone here in a professional capacity.
I strongly encourage you to work closely with your vet, ask questions, ask about anticonvulsants. Maybe your vet has a veterinary neurologist she could consult with that will offer some recommendations if you are hesitant to do a lot of testing on a senior dog.
Some of us have owned dogs with neurological disorders and know what they look like, that’s why we suspect seizures, as there are many types. Often a low dose of medication (daily) does the trick and the episodes stop 🙂
This is not veterinary advice; consult your veterinarian.
