That sounds scary! Fatboy needs to be examined by his veterinarian. It sounds like he may have had a seizure or is dealing with hepatic encephalopathy. Pets can have seizures for many reasons including liver disease, electrolyte imbalance, infections, inner ear problems, cancer or epilepsy. He will need a physical exam and bloodwork to begin to narrow down and appropriately address the cause. Seizures and hepatic conditions are serious and are best addressed early. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
