If an animal has a solitary seizure
If an animal has a solitary seizure, most veterinarians will advise
against expensive and time consuming tests for something that may never happen again. If an animal has more than one seizure though, tests are indicated.

Ideally the seizure should be videotaped by the owner, and then shown to the veterinarian.
