That sounds quite confusing. I wonder if it could be behavior rather than medical. Start journaling what is going around in Doc's environment when these episodes start. Depending on the frequency, he may benefit from anti-anxiety medications or another treatment. You could also seek out an evaluation with a veterinary behaviorist. You may also want to talk to your vet about cognitive dysfunction. https://www.petcoach.co/article/4-signs-of-cognitive-dysfunction-in-dogs/
