Hello. I am so sorry about poor Monty. He does need to see a veterinarian as soon as possible to rule out the various causes of his symptoms. These could be seizures, but it can also be a condition called syncope that would indicate that there may be a pretty serious heart problem going on. Other than protecting him the best you can when he collapses, there really is not much you can do at home. I do hope you can have him seen soon. Thanks for using PetCoach.
