Hi there, It sounds like Leo may have hit his head and may be having small seizures. I would recommend you take him to your veterinarian as soon as possible for an exam, especially if he's acting like he's in a coma. I hope that helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
