You may have more than one problem. The seizure, staring into space,
and hind end weakness ALL sound like insulinoma. Has his blood glucose
been checked recently? The stress of insulinoma on the body can lead
to other problems, such as ulcers, which could be the cause of the
bad poops and the blood. We have dealt with this double-problem in
the past: insulinoma and ulcers. He needs to get his glucose checked
immediately, and if it's low, then start on Prednisolone right away.
However, he may also need treatment for ulcers, which, if left
untreated, can perforate his stomach and kill him.

You can find insulinoma info at several places, but here's the best
places to start:

Dr. Williams' site:
