This could be from the tick or something totally unrelated or pure coincidence. Since this is her first seizure, I would have your vet take a look at her and run some blood work to ensure everything look normal. Your vet may want to send off a tick panel as well. Also, if she is currently taking trifexis or comfortis, I would talk to your vet about switching her as these are not recommend if they have a history or seizures. I hope this helps!
