There doesn't seem to be a common cause for his and we've even gone through the moon phases etc. I can't see why it couldn't be that your dog felt something. Humans do with pressure headaches and feeling giddy etc. Our dog certainly "appears" to have a headache a couple of days before his seizures - he hides his head by putting his paws over himself.
