     Hi there - this sounds like a seizure to me.  I would recommend a visit to your vet to see if there is any obvious reason for these episodes.  Have you seen them many times or just the once?  They may be caused by systemic disease (i.e. kidney failure) or neurological disease (i.e. brain tumor).  Many systemic diseases can be ruled out by a simple blood test.  Neurological conditions may need to be diagnosed by a neurologist using many more in depth tests.  I hope this helps, best of luck!
