My dog stares, hides, won't eat, chews tail. Could it be seizures?

Question

My dog has been acting really weird lately. Days ago, he just sat and stared at objects while next to me and then when I got up to leave, he would just be in that position like a statue and hiding under the piano chair or under the foot of the recliner.He didn’t feel like eating or drinking by himself so my mom had to bring him to his bowl and feeding/showing him his water. He also constantly chews his tail, all the time for like 7 minutes straight. The vet checked and said he’s ok.I’m not sure.

Hi there. So sorry to hear that Ruger is having this issue. My feeling on this behavior is that it is likely a form of seizure (psychomotor). The vet would not necessarily note anything abnormal on exam. If blood testing was not done I suggest you have that done as the next step. I also recommend you video tape with your phone some of this behavior so you can show that to your vet as usually the dog is not exhibiting these symptoms during the vet's exam.
