Hi. Sorry Stormy isn't doing well. We can't tell you what the clear fluid was without an exam, and more information. Could be saliva, which drooling can occur during seizures. There are many causes of seizures. Idiopathic epilepsy, the most common cause of seizures is an inherited disorder, but its exact cause is unknown. Other causes include liver disease, kidney failure, brain tumors, brain trauma, or toxins. Seizures often occur at times of changing brain activity, such as during excitement or feeding, or as the dog/cat is falling asleep or waking up. Affected cats and dogs can appear completely normal between seizures. It's best to get an exam as soon as possible.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can occur due to many reasons that go from a toxicity, metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases and even tumors. All these signs you describe could be related to the same thing causing the seizures or it may be a separate issue. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Diagnostics that will be recommended will include bloodwork and advanced imaging such as an MRI. They would also be able to start him on anti-seizure medications to try to avoid the onset of more seizures. Good luck and have a good night! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
