Hello,

What you have seen is seizure activity. Two seizures within the time frame you have mentioned warrants an ER Visit tonight. If you do not know of the closest ER Vet please supply a City, State and Zip Code, So I can try and locate one for you. You can rub some Karo or Pancake syrup on the gums to help balance the glucose levels.
