I'm sorry to hear that Max is having seizures! It's hard to say what might be causing this without being able to examine him and run some tests. Occasional seizures can be caused by idiopathic epilepsy, exposure to something toxic, or a neurologic disease such as a brain tumor or meningitis. I would recommend taking Max to the vet for a check-up. Your veterinarian can do a full neurologic exam and may also recommend lab work or other testing to help diagnose the problem. In most cases, seizures can be controlled with medication, or by treating the underlying cause if there is one.
