Why does my dog look like he's having a seizure while sleeping?

Question

Can vets have a seizure when theyre sleeping caused by a bad dream? Pet's info: Dog | Basset Hound | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 10 months old | 64 lbs

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Bad dreams do not cause seizures. So if your pet has a seizure while sleeping there is a more sinister reason for it, such as a brain tumor or other cause. Usually pets just dream and it could look like a seizure, as they may be running in their dream or jumping, and the movement of their limbs looks awkward..
