when she was losing the 2nd one this morning she was crying and flipping out and almost looked like she was having a seziure. MY husband opened her mouth and was able to remove the tooth. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this happened? Also, if there is anything you can give them to take the pain away?

Baby teeth coming out shouldn't be painful, they should be loose, and just drop out (like children). Sounds like she needs a vet trip, because that does not sound right at all!
A short term pain fix though, rub some baby oragel on its gums

Don't give her anything as some pain medications can cause severe liver problems for both dogs & cats. She was probably upset that she knew something wasn't right ...try a little baby Anbesol on the gums, just massaging and allowing her a chew will satisfy her teething needs. This is why puppies chew our best shoes!

A good trick is to buy rope bones, soak them in water based unsalted chicken broth or plain water (this is the cleaner option) and stick them in the freezer overnight.
The chewing is good for loosening up those teeth and the cold will help with the pain while not using any drugs.
As for her reaction, it sounds concerning; use your judgement to evaluate if she should see a vet.

Give her lots of things to chew on that are different textures. One thing that helps most dogs is to wet, then freeze an old face cloth and give her that to chew on - it soothes their gums. The teeth usually fall out themselves if they do lots of chewing.
