Idiopatic seizures are a neurological disorder with no known cause. Often there is a genetic link. Brain tumors though rare can cause seizures but these are more likely with an older dog. X-ray/ultrasound would rule out (if the vet thought necessary).
Anticonvulsants prescribed by a veterinarian that has examined and diagnosed the dog tend to be an effective treatment, along with avoidance of triggers, such as unnecessary vaccines, avoidance of chemicals, and some dietary restrictions. Exercise and keeping the dog in good shape may help too. But, the medication is the #1 tool.
