My dog had a seizure the second one. Could it be caused by stress? My mom whom he adores has been in and out of hospital for a month and he now has severe anxiety. Mom is now bk home but in hospice care. Papo doesnt like people in the house and now there is such high traffic with pt, ot therapists, socail workers, providers and nurses in and out of the house he barks and barks often times having to put him in the walk in closet. Could all of these changes and stress be causing him to have them. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

yes, stress can induce seizures in dogs. If they are getting more severe and occurring more frequently with all the changes, then you may want to talk to your vet about anxiety medication or seizure medication to control them
