My dog has seizures, he had one yesterday and is acting very weird. He seems confused and won’t stop pacing around. He’s been shaking all night and today.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can occur from conditions such as epilepsy, toxicity, inflammatory disease, cancer, among many other conditions. The likelihood of each of these conditions depends on the age of the patient and many other factors that are determined on a physical examination and further history. I recommend that you have Aslan evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid that he is already showing abnormal behavior. A consultation with a neurologist may be recommended. Good luck and have a great day!
