I believe that it happens when they are struck in the bad head. they are outside the case the next prey? damaged. but I am not safe.
Seizures are a very complex thing, and are basically a result of what is similar to crossed-wiring or short circuiting in the brain-
Seizures can be caused from anything from epliepsy, to an unusually high fever, to brain tumors, to aneurysms, to what is called “idiopathic” (which means no known cause)-
Seizures are hard to diagnose- but many times can be controlled with medication. Also, the type of seizure depends on what part of the brain is effected.

dogs have similar physiological bodies to humans, so most anything that will cause a seizure in a human will affect a dog similarly. the only exceptions are: intestinal torsion which happens to dogs that have overexerted themselves, this requires surgery. the other would be the ingestitude of chocolate, chocolate being a “poison” to dogs. -blurey
it is a neurological disorder just like with people. it can be caused by a head injury but it also can be a inherited disorder in some breeds. kept on medication your dog should be fine, but like people it may need to be adjusted at times.
Low blood sugar can also cause seizures, especially in small breed pups. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
