Poor Frankie! Seizures take a lot out of a pet. Recovery can take minutes to days to fully recover. Because he is so young, I would be worried about what caused the seizure. Possibilities include toxin exposure, infection, or epilepsy. I would recommend taking Frankie to a vet to rule out the above. Good luck and kisses to Frankie!
