My dog had two seizures in 24 hours and can't walk. Is this serious?

Question

Ruby has been having seizures and is having terrible difficulty walking and standing. She's had 2 seizures in the past 24 hours. Pet's info: Dog | Basset Hound | Female | unspayed | 11 years and 10 months old | 40 lbs

That sounds scary! Ruby needs to be examined by her veterinarian today if possible. Pets can have seizures for many reasons including liver disease, electrolyte imbalance, infections, inner ear problems, cancer or epilepsy. She will need a physical exam and bloodwork to begin to narrow down and appropriately address the cause. Seizures are serious and are best addressed early. Best of luck.
