From your description it is possible that Roxy had a seizure. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. The sooner she is seen the better and if you need to be seen as an emergency I would. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction and that Roxy gets better. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
