What to do with a puppy during a Focal Seizure?

I had a dog once who had seizures he was a big 1 year old german shepherd, I was so scared at first but then a lot of people told me you need to lay them down, after a seizure a dog becomes a little blind so they keep moving and panting hard and they will keep bumping into things and walking in circles around the house that would be why she is not responding to anything. Your dog is a lot smaller so it should be easier to keep her still. lay her down and keep her on her side. She will not die if she sleeps but for me every time my dog went to sleep the seizures would pretty much start again. It is good to keep her in one place like a crate but that can also be stressful. So just keep her still or as long as the crate is in the house she should be fine. As soon as we fed my dog though the seizures seemed to stop so I don’t know if that might work. If you feed her and she eats it then it should be ok to let her sleep. But it’s best that you stay with her and watch her. I know what you are feeling just stay calm and everything will get better
