Why did my 12-year-old Lab suddenly collapse and stop moving?

Question

I have an outside yellow lab about 12 years old. Major saw my dad take out a B.B. guns to try to stop a squirrel from eating our garden. Major then chased after the squirrel and then all of a sudden he stopped functioning and flipped over and layed there, fully conscious and seemed to know his whereabouts. I thought it could be a seizure but now he is on his last leg and i’m not sure what’s going on. hes not pooping but he’s eating. My dad claimed it to be the dog flu then a heart attack. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 80 lbs

I am sorry Major is not doing well. With an older patient a wide range of possibilities could cause this behavior like infection, brain lesion, vascular even (stroke) and even trauma to the spinal cord. I would recommend taking him to the vet as soon as possible for evaluation to see if there is anything you can do to help Major. I hope he improves
