Seizures in dogs can manifest in many forms. They range from petit mal to grand mal seizures, with many variations in between. Petit mal seizures often cause the dog to stop and suddenly stare off into space with a blank look, in a semi-conscious state. Partial seizures can target only a certain part of a dog's body, such as in the face or just one side of the body. Complex partial seizures can result in a variety of erratic behaviors, from the dog running around the house to standing and staring into space, drooling, and unresponsive. Cluster seizures are when your dog has many seizure episodes closely after one another. A grand mal seizure is the most severe, and causes the dog to go rigid, fall down, convulse violently, drool, and sometimes lose control of its bowels.
Dogs can have seizures from an excess of external stimuli (ie, sound & light), and this includes trauma or physical shock to the body. So yes, getting hit can cause a dog to have a seizure, especially if they have been diagnosed with epilepsy.
Alcohol is not a known cause of dog seizures, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could trigger them. Dog seizures can be caused by certain food and toxins, and alcohol may be toxic to some dogs.
Yes a dog can have seizures from allergies
There are many possible causes of dog seizures. The first thing to rule out is trauma.A few others include epilepsy, toxin ingestion, brain tumors, tick-induced diseases, and distemper. Epilepsy is the most common cause of seizures in dogs and it cannot be cured. It can, however, be controlled by anti-epileptic drugs or, more preferably, a change in nutrition.

Our dog was sleeping on the couch when he began having a seizure, he fell off the couch into a patio door and broke his neck during the seizure and died. You have to protect a pet having a seizure from hurting its self.
There are many types of seizures that a dog can have. Basically, they are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, eppilepsy, tumors, electrolyte imbalances or something as simple as low blood sugar. Many can be effectively managed by your vet using Phenobarbitol. Early treatment will be more effective than if you wait.
