Answer
Jahan -

The symptoms you describe sound like your pup may be having seizures.  If you are not comfortable with the answers your doctor is giving you, consult with another veterinarian.

If your puppy is experiencing seizures he will need medication. Have your pet examined by a doctor as soon as possible before he begins to have cluster seizures (uncontrollable seizures one after the other).  
If your pet has worms, please do not use over the counter medicine as it can cause problems.
