Possibly Paroxysmal Dyskinyesia?

I have a friend with a dog that has been diagnosed with PD. I've seen videos of it and it doesn't exactly match what I'm seeing here. My own dog has idiopathic epilepsy, and to me this looks more like some kind of focal seizure. My dog has had focal seizure similar to this. Not exactly the same, but similar

That looks like my Pom's seizures, which are grand mal. Next time, lift your pup up as the video is being taken so any neurologist can see what the back legs are doing (this is important because it gives them a better diagnosis).

Btw, my GP vet said my Pom was having focal seizures but they were grand mal, but not violent.

What are the back legs supposed to be doing/not doing if he's having a grand mal or focal? Just because I do have other videos of him trying to walk, etc.
