1.  To stop the animal from hurting itself, move them to a safe area
away from objects.  Put towels, blankets, pillows around animal.
2.  Do not try to pull the animals tongue out of their mouth.  You risk
getting a bite wound or digit amputation.  The animal will not swallow
their tongue.
3.  Time the seizure.  Record time of day and length of seizure.
4.  A seizure that persists for more than 10 minutes can cause
significant damage to the body, and could result in death.
5.  Call veterinarian right away.  Tell them what happened and when.  
Tell them how long it will take you to get there.
6.  Do not assume that the animal is all right once seizure has
stopped.  Seizures are usually the result of another problem such as
epilepsy or other illness.  The seizure may also have cause nervous
system damage, elevated temperature and other problems.
