personally i don't know if the dog will. u should talk to the owner of the Mastiff. I think that if the dog normally gets along with the other dog it shouldn't attack your dog when it's having a seizure but be cautious to allow your dog to be around the other dog when it is acting funny. i hope this helps u because i have a dog who is only 4 and has grand mal seizures but i'mknow vet i'monly 16 ! i don't think this dog suffers from seizuers though just stubborness. she could have partial seizuers. the signs are roughly what u described. thank u for carring about someone eleses dog and your own. oh, also i don't know if this is what u meant but epilepsy or seizuers are not contagious.

There is a Mastiff in my class at Kennel Club. I am conerned that this Mastiff may suffer from seizures. I have noticed she will be walking along and loose total control of her bladder, she will also almost stare in a daze ignoring you if you call her and ignoring her owner. Is my dog at risk, I mean could this puppy go into a seizures bad enough to attack, etc etc?
