is this considered a seizure?

i have a one year old lab puppy and my nana found him foaming at the mouth and he wouldnt get up, when they called his name the only thing he could do was wag his tail. This is the first time he has done this and a few minutes later he was acting normal.

Don't be too terribly scared. If it is epilepsy, there are medications that will help him, and there is no reason why he can't live a happy normal life.

It could possibly be some form of seizure, or even mild epilepsy. You need to have him checked out I think.
Can you video the event if it happens again?  Obviously you might not get much warning but if you can, it would help the vet perhaps to see more clearly what's going on with him.
