Dog seizure? Any vets?

Hi so basically I have a 5 year old chihuahua and she's just had what I think is a seizure. I saw her across the room looking stiff and lay down on all fours.

As I looked she had wee'd herself and then immediately was sick after. She was all wobbly and couldn't walk. She has also wanted to eat a lot over the last two days which isn't like her as she's very fussy!
She is okay now but this has got me worried. And I cannot get to a vet right now.

She has had these maybe twice in the last 6 months but has never wee'd herself before. And returns to normal after 5mins apart from feeling a little sad. I will be taking her to the vets but just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas.

It does sound like a seizure and I would definitely take her to the vets for a general check up.

I had a black lab who randomly started having seizures, maybe one in every 6 months? We took her the vets after the first one and everything came back as fairly normal, except they did mention the possibly reality that she had a brain tumour. However she hated the vets and they advised us to keep and eye on her and see how she coped.
At the start she came round well and was fine after a seizure, however it did progress and in the end after a set of terrible seizures, we made the decision to let her go as she was exhausted and extremely upset with herself. We think she probably did have a tumour but lived quite happily for years.
