Poor Phiilix ! I am really worried about him. This could be several things like a toxin, seizures, heart problems, liver or kidney disease, and much more. I would have your vet take a look at him as soon as possible. If you have an episode on video this could be helpful for your vet but not a requirement. Your vet may want to do blood work. They will be able to determine the cause and get him started on the proper meds to help him feel better and hopefully stop these weird episodes. I hope this helps!
