Can household pills cause silent seizures in dogs?

Hopefully your dog is not eating "household pills!" If they are, the pills could cause all kinds of toxicity problems, including liver, kidney, etc. damage. Regardless of how they started, a dog with seizures must see a vet immediately.

Assuming that "household pills" are medicines kept in the home for human consumption, I imagine they could cause anything from diarrhea to death for a dog. I echo the sentiment that I really, really hope you're not letting your dog eat stuff like that. Then again, if you are, the poor thing probably won't suffer for a long time anyway. HIDE THE PILLS, PLEASE. Just pretend the dog is a three year old child. You'll get the idea.

Can tapeworms cause seizures in dogs?

Possibly, but only in advanced infestations. Tapeworms are Cesstoda, which means that they are parasitic flatworms adapted to live in the digestive tracts of animals. Tapeworms feed off of the nutrients that your dog gets from food. If the worm releases eggs into your dog's system and they get carried into the bloodstream, a condition called Cysticercosis can result. There is often an immune response to the embryonic cycsts-- which can cause seizures.

When is a Search or seizure Unreasonable?

A search or seizure is unreasonable whenever there is no purpose for the search. For an example you are stopped by the police and they want you to open your trunk. They would have to explain why they want to see inside your trunk, and they would then have to say what they are looking for. Now when you are entering the United States this becomes a little cloudy. A customs agent may look inside your suitcase, and have you turn on your laptop or mp3 player to verify that's what it is, however they may not go through your files on those devices without a good reason as to what they are looking for.

What should you record following a seizure?

If no one saw it, just record what you know. If you are recording details of another person's seizure, then you will need to get some information from them.
