Most likely Epilepsy...It's not uncommon in Beagles. I had a mother and daughter that both had it. Mother did not show signs until after she was bred but before she had 1 pup at 3 years of age. They said giving them sugar, like candy, would reduce the incidences but it didn't work for me. I ended up putting both mine down. Don't take my word for it but that's my guess.
"Epilepsy
Although epilepsy is probably the most well-known cause of seizure, it does not mean that your dog has epilepsy because of seizure. There are basically two types of seizures, primary and secondary.
Secondary seizure is caused by outside stimulus and the source is known. However, primary seizure has no known source, it could sometimes be a genetic issue.
Seizures in this case occur more frequently over the course of the dog's life, and if it happens between the age of 1 to 3, it's likely due to genetics.
Genetics
Being prone to seizures has been proved to be a hereditary trait. There are certain breeds that are more inclined to seizures. These breeds include, the Golden Retriever, the Poodle, the Beagle, the Keeshond, the Collie, the Dachshund, and the German Shepherd."
