At that age any time seizures start there is a concern it is a brain lesion such as a tumor. SeIure typically are not predictable and do not cycle unless there is an outside cause such as a medicine or something happening each time to trigger it. you can keep a log to track this to see if there is a pattern. If not you should see vet to see if there is a cause and what treatment options you have available. Some respond well with medicine but a prolonged seizure can cause brain damage
