Probably Epilepsy. My Britney Spaniel has it. If the attacks are infrequent and not severe ( such as convulsing so violently they bite themselves, or throw themselves down stairs, etc ) my Vet advised me to just let it be. When he has an attack I just try to make him comfortable, usually by sitting next to him, putting his head on my lap, stroking his head telling him it will be over soon. ( his attacks are about 3-5 minutes from start to finish. He's thirsty when it's over, gets a long drink, acts as if nothing happened!) The medication is worse than the fits ( barbiturates which are habit forming and must be given in larger and larger doses !) so unless the dogs quality of life is terrible ( such as 5 or more fits per day) or if they are severe, just let them pass.
There are LOTS of reasons that would cause an animal to have a seizure. Any reason that a human would have a seizure can cause an animal to have one. Let's just start a list here - brain tumor - fungal infection in the brain- Diabetes- epilepsy etc etc etc.
my black lab started having seizures at age 11 and at age 13 i guess the pills they gave him just didn't work anymore and he just had them all night for 24 hrs... we had to put him to sleep... but when he was on the pills he was kinda delirious my dog that never fetched started fetching....

Where do the animals in animal experimentation come from?
Most labs breed their own lines so that they can keep a consistent gene pool for their studies. In doing this, there is no extraneous variable with a different line of animal. If they do not breed their own, then specialized breeding facilities keep the labs stocked. Labs do not, most of the time, buy their animals from regular pet stores and such because they are more prone to disease and they are of various gene pools.
Can you spin a child if they are prone to seizures?
If that is likely to trigger their seizures, then definitely not and it is probably not a good idea anyway. Different people have different triggers for their seizures and some people are worse than others in terms of how bad their seizures are and how often they get them. It is not a good idea to wrap a child in cotton wool just because they have an illness, but you do need to apply common sense to situations. A parent knows their child well and the child, once old enough and responsible enough, will know their limitations too, so it really is on a case by case basis as to how you deal with a child who gets seizures or has some other health condition that may affect what they can do.

Can minecraft activate seizures?
I don't think so. There aren't many seizure inducing features of Minecraft. Creepers, when about to explode, flash white a few times. Also while healing, your health bar flashes white, which is rapidly increased after drinking a certain potion. But I don't think those are very dangerous to those prone to seizures.
