You can only imagine, but never really truly know, what it is like to have your beloved dog seize until you have actually dealt with it.  It can be a horrifying experience.  The sweet dog that you have come to know and love on a daily basis transforms instantly when the 'seizure monster' strikes.
 
The experience doesn't end after the seizure finishes.  There is the post-ictal phase, when the dog could be blind, pace, bump into things, gets caught in corners or in other obstacles.
 
Below is what those of us that own epileptic dogs must experience at any given moment that the seizures begin.
