If Pinky is having muscle tremors or seizures, I would be very concerned that the problem is not epilepsy but rather eclampsia, or "milk fever". This is a life-threatening condition caused by very low blood calcium levels, and is common in toy breed dogs who are nursing large litters. This is a medical emergency, so Pinky needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately. If you call your regular vet's office, they should have contact information on their voicemail message for your nearest emergency clinic or on-call doctor.
