Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If the licking comes on before a seizure, it could absolutely be that you are fortunate enough to have a dog who can smell/sense when you are going to have a seizure. If it seems unrelated to your seizure activity, it could just be that he likes to lick your eye- I’ve met a dog or two who is very interested in eyes or ears or particular places. Best wishes to you and Shadow!
