Hello, you can try and remove Tyson from bus current environment to see if this calms him down. Otherwise ensure he has not gotten into any medications that you may have at home that may cause him to feel disoriented. If the problem persists, I would recommend visiting your veterinarian to have Tyson assessed. Hope this helps
