Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 8 months old | 74 lbs

I'm wondering if Logan is on medication for his seizures. If he's not, he should be. This many seizures over 48 hours is a lot, and he should see a vet immediately. It may be that if medication doesn't help him with the seizures, letting him go peacefully would be the kindest option. Get him into a vet right away. If he seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near his mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor him at all times during the seizure to ensure that he cannot hurt himself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately Best of luck.
