It’s called Idiopathic Seizures, cause unknown , probably genetic. The old rule of thumb was, if the seizures are severe or occurring more than once a month, the veterinarian would recommend medication.

From one of my previous posts via the search engine at this site:
“This was years ago but my dog had (idiopathic) seizures that started at the age of 9 months, he did well on a low dose of phenobarb and lived to be 14”.

“He was never drowsy or had any side effects, the vets may have other medications they use now”.
“I would consider asking your vet about treatment options, or have him refer you to a neurologist”.

“Otherwise the dog suffers, it’s like a fire storm in the brain when they are experiencing a seizure. Uncontrolled seizures can cause more neurological damage”. In example: brain damage.
This is a neurological disorder….food won’t do much. That being said, it would be best to keep the diet simple to avoid possible triggers, look for a limited ingredient food. And of course avoid chemicals and vaccinations, he may qualify for a rabies vaccine waiver. Consider seeing a specialist ASAP.
