Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Button! Yes, as long as Button seems back to normal and doesn't have anymore seizures you can wait until tomorrow. Having 2-3 seizures in a 24 hour period is an emergency or if he keeps going in to seizures with out a period of rest. Causes of seizures in a 4 year old dog are: Idiopathic epilepsy, toxin, infectious, metabolic and rarely cancer. I wish Button the best!
