Yes you do need to worry, but he is also very, very drunk from the
meds. I sure hope that your vet gave you med to take home to keep
giving him.

Are you going to do a MRI scan? This would tell you why he is having
seizures. Here in the US it cost about $ 500.00.
I'm so sorry to here this, and my heart goes out to you and your
family. Good luck to you all.
