HI Erin, If your pet is having seizures I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian as soon as possible if you have not already done so. There can be a few different causes for seizures and if your pet is having multiple seizures he will need treatment for them. Your vet can best answer these questions in your pet’s specific situation. In general, seizures can cause harm or pain, with all of the muscles firing at the same time it can lead to muscle damage, damage to the kidneys and liver, or even possibly brain damage. The longer the seizure lasts, the more issues that it can cause. In shorter seizures, there may not be any pain but it can be very confusing for the pet.
