Hi Teresa,
Instead of keeping her in the ball I would put her back in her tank. If she
has cage mates, a split cage intro may be necessary since she has been out
of the tank for so long. I would put her back in and leave her alone for
awhile.
Her behavior doesn't seem normal for a seizure. Good luck with her.
Maybe a trip to the vet may be necessary.
