Staring upwards (often called "star gazing") and appearing to see things that aren't there can be signs of a neurologic condition such as hydrocephalus, a liver shunt, a brain tumor, or some type of infectious or inflammatory disease of the brain. I would recommend taking Sam to the vet for an exam. If he/she feels that there may be a problem, they can refer you to a neurologist for further work-up and treatment.
