Find a new vet if you believe the one you presently has isn't listening to you.
However, in some cases there is nothing they do for seizures. But until they determine this, they will do testing to determine the cause for the seizure, and they will consider the frequency and veracity of the seizure...when it's determined to be health related rather than a neurological abnormality that might require surgical remedy, it's easily treated with daily pills but other times they don't do anything.

There are all kinds of ways to treat seizures. Your vet is WRONG. Find a new vet. Without treatment every seizure is killing brain cells and eventually a seizure will kill your dog without treatment
