Answer 1

If your dog is having seizures there could be a number of reasons - from toxins to epilepsy to brain tumor.  Your vet should be able to tell you what he is treating for and what testing he is doing.  It is possible that the dog will have to have an MRI to determine the cause of seizures but because an MRI is rather pricey, your vet is probably trying to rule out whatever he can before going this route.
