These signs could be compatible with a seizure episode, possibly caused by epilepsy. Causes of epilepsy are several but can be summarized in intracranial (idiopathic neoplastic, inflammatory) and extracranial (metabolic, toxic, and many others) causes of it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
