Can my puppy have a seizure if he is 8 weeks old? Because I want to adopt a pit bull puppy and the owner said he has had 1 seizure and that he is probably epileptic.

It is not a good idea to get this puppy. When puppies are this young and already having seizures, usually it is usually due to an underlying congenital problem like with the brain, liver, kidneys, etc. It is probably not just epilepsy.
