Her seizures are short and mild, but frequent. Today she has had 5 so far. To some it might seem she is in pain but the scream is part of the seizure. The licking is a sign she is coming out of the seizure. The fast breathing is recovery.
There are many types of seizures and causes. I am showing it for educational value only. Warning: Only view this if you think it will be information you'll need to store away as a dog parent. Otherwise, it is not for the sensitive soul.

We had a dog who had seizures and passed away with a final one. It was heart wrenching because there was nothing we could do for her except to keep her as calm as possible and let her know we loved her. I've recently found out that my black and white "buddy" is asthmatic and will go into fits every so often. So I totally empathize with your baby's issue. HUGS
Poor Snuffy. We really feel for you. Our paws are crossed and we pray that the vet can find the right medication. We are lucky so far with ancient Pip just a few accidents of the toilet kind. We just take it a day at a time. Have a super Saturday.
Best wishes Molly
Hope you find out the cause and he doesn't suffer too much.
I do sympathise with you, our goldie started fitting suddenly at 18 months old. He had 17 in one week and the vet put him on epiphen and libromide and for the past 7 years he has been fine. Touching wood. He is now almost 11. It is such a horrible experience , for both owner and dog. Hope something can be done for Snuffy, thoughts are with you from over the pond.
Poor Snuffy. I hope increasing the meds works!
I do have to tell you that this is the most calm seizure I've seen. This is not to belittle what Snuffy is going through-- it is still heartbreaking to see. It is just surprising to me because the dogs I've seen in a seizure have always rolled onto their backs and twisted around a little... Snuffy didn't need to do that. I am hoping the vet finds a good balance of meds for her and that she'll find some peace with it! She's such a good wagger!!
I cannot watch it Parsley...
So heartbreaking.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the video, but know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. It's so difficult to see our beloved pets having medical issues.
A large part of the distress of any loving pet owner is not being able to "communicate" with their pet in such a way as to "find out what is wrong" and/or to "offer comfort" and know that it is accepted.
Hugs. I continue to wish the best for Snuffy and hope for a swift recovery.
We didn't watch it Parsley but we are sure sending you guys our prayers and hugs...I know your heart is hurting.
