My puppy had a seizure. Is it due to low blood sugar from not eating?

Question

My 11 week Brussel Griffon had a seizure today. He weighs a pound and 9 ounces. Unfortunately he ran out of his food yesterday. I was giving him a some Stella and chewy to hold him up till today. This morning I quickly realized that he wasn’t himself because he had no energy. That’s when he had the seizure. So I guess my question here is could’ve been because he had low blood pressure due to not eating enough yesterday? Pet's info: Dog | Brussels Griffon | Male | 2 months and 26 days old | 1lb

Hello. The seizure may have been from a low blood glucose ( sugar ) level. Make sure Malone eats 3 good meals a day & if he skips a meal, have some Karo Syrup or Nutrical ( available at all pet stores ) on hand & give him 1/2 - 1 teaspoon to give him a sugar boost. If he continues to have seizures, even after eating well & on a regular basis, please have him evaluated for other causes of seizures. I hope he is doing better soon.
