Answer Hello Carmine,
If your dog is still acting like this today, you might think about contacting your Vet. Your dog could have had a seizure. Keep checking your dog because he might start acting normal, then have another episode.
I hope this helps you some. If you have other questions about this or other questions in general, please feel free to ask.
