No there is nothing over the counter you can give her. I recommend keeping a diary of the episodes and taking her in for an exam and bloodwork. She could have epilepsy or another problem. If the seizures are more frequent than monthly then they will recommend anti seizure medication. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Ciquita.
