Poor Angel! This sounds like a neurologic event/possible seizure and Angel should be seen by a vet ASAP. Keep track of these episodes, write down length, what they look like and record a video if possible. If an episode lasts more than 5 minutes take Angel to the emergency hospital right away. Keep her from hitting anything during an episode and keep away from her mouth in case she accidentally bites down.
