G'day, Eddy here.
 
Just as any human might at any time have a seizure so might any dog, even if the dog happens to be a Labradoodle or whatever dog. One seizure on it's own might be of no real significance health wise yet if severe could result in major health problems and maybe even death, also then there is the matter if more seizures occur and in what severity. Also keep in mind that there are different types of seizures. 
 
Epileptic Seizures could be caused from several reasons, such as result of trauma, stroke, poisons or drug or chemicals, psychological neurological disorders, environmental influences, induced by visual strobing effects, various micro organism infections, hereditary reasons, and there are yet more reasons. So it's a long drawn out process to find out what exactly happened and as to why a seizure or seiizures occurred.
 
As causes can be different and if treatments are required then treatments can be different according to cause and severity. Investigation as to the reason is the first priority before starting any form of treatment. But then a Seizure could be a "once situation" and maybe no more occurrences could occur, and it's advisable to at least mention any seizure to your veterinarian.
 
To answer some questions about Epileptic Seizures the following websites provide some information. But realise it's impossible to compact quite a number of medical books and research articles on a website, so websites tend to provide some basic information.
