Hello, sorry to hear about Canello. I would recommend recording the episodes and bringing Canelo to his veterinarian to be evaluated. If his episodes are occurring infrequently, less than once a year then you can continue to monitor him at home. If his episodes are more frequent, especially is he is having more than one episode in 1 month, or more than one episode on any single day, then he may need medications to control these episodes if determined to be of neurologic origin. Hope this helps and best of luck.
