Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sobe. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. He may have suffered a seizure. He could also have a disease such as intervertebral disc disease that is placing pressure on his spine cord. Regardless, his symptoms are serious and require veterinary care. I hope this information helps!
