Why is my dog foaming, smacking mouth, dizzy, and head pumping?

Question

3 days ago my dog has had foam coming out of her mouth and she smacks her mouth at the same time, it has happened 4 times so far, each lasting 30 secs to a minute. 2 days ago her eyes sometimes look unfocused, like she’s dizzy or something. I have also noticed she had been walking slowly and sometimes looks like she’s dizzy. The top of her head also pumps up and down sometimes and her ears move a little bit. She eats and drinks regularly. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 22 lbs

Sounds like Snow is having partial seizures. I suggest you video tape her episodes and take her to the vet for an exam and show them the video. They will most likely recommend some blood testing and will discuss with you some anti-seizure medications if they think they are needed.
