The vet can draw some blood for bloodwork to see the calcium levels in her body. Sometimes hyocalcemia (low calcium levels) can cause seizures.

The next time she has the dar/black droppings smear them on a white piece of paper, and hold up to a strong light. If it is food related it will be a dark green color....if it is blood in the upper GI tract it will be a rust color.

If he seizures are calcium related you might try shaving some cuttlebone into powder and sprinkling it on her foods. Also with the dark droppings he intestinal flora might be out of whack, s probiotics might be beneficial.

If the vet you had seen no longer does house calls would she consider a video conference to do an examine and have you come in with samples of fresh droppings for grams stains?
