My dog had two seizures tonight. I've had her for 4 years and she's never had one that I know of, before. Is something wrong? Should I be worried?.

I'm sorry to hear Lika is having a tough time. Seizures can result fro organ dysfunction, electrolyte imbalances, toxins, cancer or epilepsy. I think you should take her in to have bloodwork to make sure her organs and electrolytes are normal. If they are normal, the doctor will talk to you about next steps which may include medication, a CT scan, referral or monitoring. Best to have Lika checked out to starting figuring out what's going on.
