One final thing: if you follow Saul's advice and don't give the dog any phenobarb, at the very least make sure that you have some Valium on hand. You can get it from the vet. A 3-5 minute seizure is a long episode. Any longer than that and the dog risks going into status epilepticus. If a seizure lasts more than a few minutes you can stop it by inserting a Valium into the dog's rectum.
Another thing you should do is keep a seizure log. Every time the dog has an episode write down when it happened, the characteristics of the seizure, and the approximate length. Should things change, show the log to the vet.
