I am not sure how one would know.  Seizure activity in dog is somewhat 
different than in humans.  I do not know that one sees the grand mal type 
clonic activity we all think about in humans.  Seizuer activity in dogs can 
be very small almost seconds and cause only what might be termed a loss of 
"focus" by the dog.  One would probably never know it unless one observed it 
and was looking for such activity.  The larger ones we see, may only come 
once and awhile, but the smaller ones can occur frequently.  So how does one 
know?  You may not, but look and see if there is some interruption in the 
normal behavior or activity of the dog.
