Hello, Bullet may have been in a heavy asleep. Its less likely that he had any other more serious condition especially since he woke up when you called on him. More severe causes that may cause fainting or collapsing episodes may be associated with heart or blood pressure problems. If you note any fainting or collapsing episodes then Bullet should be evaluated by his veterinarian. If Bullet has a history of heart disease, then this episode should be investigated further to ensure he is not having any complications. Hope this helps and best of luck.
