It can be the sign of a seizure type activity within the brain. It can also be a sign of a brain tumor, hepatic encephalopathy or an inner ear infection. All of these require treatment and can only be accurately diagnosed with a physical exam and lab work. I recommend to get Brownie into see the veterinarian today as waiting can make it worse. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
