First of all, don't panic. It is not the end of the world. I grew up with a dog who had epilepsy, and it is quite manageable.
First of all, the dog is scared, which makes it want to stand up, which it can't, which will make it more scared which may set off another seizure. Try to keep the dog calm and keep it lying down.
Our vet also warned us that during a seizure, the dog may not be itself due to the seizure and due to panic. He advised us to stay clear until the seizure had passed. I never bothered about that, I prefered to support my dog, figuring that a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel can't do any damage that the hospital can't fix in a jiffy.
With medication, the seizures went away almost completely (I think he had one or two over 8-10 years). The medication used was birth control pills for cats, but we never told him that. It would have been to much for his ego. I don't know if this is common medication, as we were lucky in that our local vet was also a national expert on epilepsy in dogs and had spend a lot of his career (he was more or less retired at the time) researching it. Anyway, it worked nicely, and the only side effect we could notice was that he was slightly less energetic, but this might just as well be him getting out of puppy-age and into adulthood.
So just stay calm. It's not dangerous. Try to calm you dog until the attack has passed completely and prevent it from standing up. Stay away from the teeth, just in case. Talk to a vet about it, it is treatable. Your doggy will have a long and good life, despite the epilepsy

Get the dog to a vet, or call one right now ASAP! I personally don't think you should have wasted the time to turn your computer on and ask a question. Just please get off the computer and take her to a vet or have one come out to see her right away.

Why are you here, and not on the phone with your local vet clinic? Common sense says that when there are newborns involved, and an unknown seizure, that you do NOT ask strangers on the internet for a diagnosis!

You need to locate an emergency vet in the yellow pages and call them to make sure they are there and how to get there.
Take the dog there immediately.
It will be expensive but if you want the dog to survive you need to try this now.

get your dog to the vet ASAP. then i would suggest picking up some formula and bottles at the local pet store and feeding the puppies yourself. it's just like feeding a baby- really easy. if you need more help contact me....i've done kitten feedings and puppy feeding a bunch!

Take mother and puppies to vet immediately.
Don't wait, if you don't have a ride to the vet hospital ask a neighbor to take you.

She may had a stroke, or she may have a calcium deficiency. In either case, gather up the puppies and take her and the pups to a vet quickly.
