My dog had a seizure. Is his jerking and odd walking neuro damage?

Question

My almost 13year old Boston had a seizure tonight. Grand Mal. He had 2 within 2 days 2 weeks ago-no history prior. I believe some sort of food may have triggered it. He got into the garbage while we were out today and sure enough he had one again. Issue is this time he seems to have continued limb jerking. The original seizure was about 2-3 minutes before he came out of it. And now he back end isn’t working right nor front right leg and he is walking almost sideways. Can there be neuro damage? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | neutered | 12 years and 11 months old

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can result in lasting neurological damage, especially when the seizures are prolonged or severe. You can also have transient deficits in the post ictal (after -seizure) period that may resolve. You should bring your pet to a veterinarian for evaluation. Certainly seizures can be the result of a toxicity but, they may also be due to metabolic problems or primary neurologic issues. in addition, if he is having continual problems, there maybe treatment needed. I hope he is ok!
