Why does my dog have seizures, raspy breathing, and jaw chattering?

Question

My dogs had what I thought were 4 seizures in 19 days, only a day between the last 2 and 2 weeks Before the 1st & 2nd. He fell over side ways and had paralysis He was lathargic the last 12 hours or so, very clingy. He's walking around fine eating and drinking normally. But when he yawns as he's closing his mouth he chatters. He stares at me very intently and raspy breathing. Blood work basic done, nothing wrong. No heart murmur. Enjoys when I rub back of his neck a lot. Like I'm relieving pain. Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Male | unneutered | 11 years and 4 months old | 14 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on your description, I would recommend having x-rays taken for the raspy breathing and if these episodes continue to occur, consider placing Jordan on anti-seizure medications to see if that helps. For a further workup of these episodes, I would consider seeing a neurologist for a further exam and more diagnostics such as an MRI. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please take the time to mark this question as helpful or not as it helps us to improve on the quality of our answers to other pet owners. Thank you kindly!
