My dog just had a seizure or some other event where he couldn't walk on front feet, doing better now except right leg is walking funny-do you think I need emergency care? He seems alert and has eaten also. Thank you!

It sounds like a small stroke, it could be vestibular disease as well, i would recommend taking him for a checkup today, he should be evaluated to make sure his neurological condition is not damaged.
