Golden retriever Cooper's seizure

●update Nov 2018.. 2+yrs later: Cooper continues to have seizures regularly. However, now he sometimes has a couple back to back in 1 day. Additionally, now after one he no longer pops up and acts like whats up? He is affected longer. He'll wobble and sometimes does circles as he walks to his destination. Also as of just a month-ish ago, he now deficates almost immediately after coming to. He's never had potty accidents in the house but if I don't immediately get him out the door, he can't hold it. He pottied on the porch last night bcz he couldn't make it to the steps and into the yard.
A new development as of last night's seizure: usually Coop is very hungry sget coming to, resting, going potty outside and drinking. But after last night's seizure he was voracious! He was actually super defiant, tenacious, and..... aggressive! He kept aggressively trying to get the food I had on my plate and on the counter. Though still weak and wobbly; I found him standing on his hind legs trying to get something off the counter. This is a first ever for him as he's usually very mild mannered and very well behaved. Trained to the point of obeying my hand signals.
But he wouldn't give up (even after I DID feed him as I always do after a seizure). He'd go to one side of me or the table and try.. i'd scold, he'd go to the other side. Over and over till one point I was actually thinking his next move would be aggressive.
🔵🎶🎵🎤 pardon my singing on these videos
Of all things I've tried to bring him out of a seizure, I've found that if I sing "Monday Morning" by Death Cab for Cutie - he is more calm & he comes to much quicker.

🚫NOTE: I delete negative comments, trolls, nasties and the like.
I do not have to explain myself to anyone, therefore, negative comments & opinions carry no weight.
I video my golden retriever - Cooper - having seizures for a few reasons:
1. When he had his 1st one, I immediately wanted to know if others did too and if he was having anything more unusual or different. So scared, worried and sad, I googled and KZhead'd for dog seizure videos, help for dog seizures, etc etc. I want to be able to be there for others experiencing this scary time in their pets lives as others were for me by posting THEIR video.
2. I record so that I can time the length. While recording there is a running timer.
3. I record so that I may provide my vet with the video. It's way better and more acurate than just describing what happened.
4. I WILL use these as evidence to hopefully help other pet parents and deter people from using HARTZ products.

One day about 3 months ago (edited due to time passed) Aug 2016 we used flea shampoo by Hartz.
Within four hours our golden retriever who is 4 1/2 years old had his first seizure that he had ever had.
Fast forward .....now it is November and he has had at LEAST one or more seizures every week since. These are the ones we know of and are there to witness. I do know that he has had them when I am gone during the day & at work. I know because I come home and there is evidence that he has eliminated during the muscle spasms.
This one and the one last week were two of the hardest & longest seizures I've witnessed him have.
After he came to, I took him outside and cleaned him with warm water and dr. Bronner's pure Castile soap to get rid of the sticky saliva, urine and adrenaline smell.
I then recorded a 30 or 40 second clip of how he is just walking in circles or weaving back and forth while walking and circling.
That video is posted here too.
