It sounds like Flower may be having a seizure. I would recommend to make an appointment with your veterinarian and plan on running some blood work. Seizures can be present due to epilepsy, liver disease, electrolyte imbalance or a tumor in the brain. Bloodwork will help to know if the liver or electrolytes are to blame for the seizures. She may also go on medication to help stop the seizures from occurring. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any further questions.
