It's quite serious when a dog suddenly has seizures, and it could be that Snow got into something toxic, has low blood sugar, has liver disease, or kidney failure among other causes. I would have her seen by a vet right away. The vet can diagnose what is causing her seizures and can treat her for it. If Snow seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately
