French bulldog had a seizure last night

[D1on]

Last night we were woken by a strange noise, we found our 3 year old French bulldog on his side, frothing from his mouth having a seizure.
It lasted around 2 minutes and around 10 minutes later he was back to his usual self.
Is this the beginning of the end for him? I love him dearly and the thought of him suffering fills me with dread.
Has anyone had similar happen?

We have an appointment at the vets on Monday.

Thanks sporky.
He's just had another one, Slightly worse than the first one, lasted 3 minutes.

Devastating to see.

[D1on]

Thank you moorx.
At the emergency vets now.

Just got back.
Done all the blood tests and they've came back fine.
Said they think it's epilepsy and to monitor him.
They've prescribed Diazepam incase he has another one...

Now I'm sat on edge waiting...

Thanks so much for your replies guys, I've taken it all on board.

His last (3rd) seizure was last night at 10pm, it was the least severe yet and lasted around one minute.

Luckily he slept right through all night without any seizures.

Luckily not had one since 10pm the night before last... going to his own vet now for his appointment.

On edge every time he gets up

Just a quick update.

Thank god, He hasn't had another seizure in getting on for 72 hours now, Strange how he had 3 within 10 hours and not one within 72 hours...

The vet said as one of his seizures was around 3 minutes long, He has been prescribed 30mg of Epiphen twice a day.

We will start him on this tonight and hope for the best...

Thanks again for all your replies and experiences.

So, 8 months on after his first and last (afaik) seizure, still taking his meds daily.

I got home yesterday and he was breathing fast for a few hours like he'd ran a marathon and seemed very lethargic & tired so I imagine he had a seizure whilst I wasn't home...

He's better this morning and seems back to normal...
