It's possible Duke is having some sort of seizure, muscular or other neurologic issue if he suddenly stiffens, falls over, or otherwise seems to be fainting. Since this has happened multiple times for him, I would recommend a complete checkup by your vet including bloodwork and neurologic exam to rule out anything more serious and get Duke feeling better. Your vet may also recommend a referral to a neurologist if something apparent can't be found.
