What a scary thing for you to experience - and I'm glad Bailey is feeling better now.
Both of our older beagles have infrequent (2-3 times a year) seizures and the description of Bailey is definitely consistent with their post-seizure reaction - especially the point where they finally seem to just "snap" back to normal (which is always such a relief). Luckily both Booker and Moose have relatively minor seizures (they don't lose bladder or bowel control) - but the few minutes during the seizure are still terrifying and we always feel so helpless because there is really nothing we can do about it besides holding them and trying to reassure them they are not alone.
Our vet has always told us that as long as the seizures do not become more frequent, more severe or start to last longer, there is really nothing to do but keep an eye on them. One thing they have always suggested, though, is to try to film them when they are actually having a seizure - because seeing the seizure is the absolutely best way for the vet to really know what is happening.
Hopefully Bailey won't have another seizure for a long, long time (if ever), but if she does and you do have a way to film it that would probably be a good idea to help with a diagnosis moving forward.
Good luck.
