hypoglycemia

It could have been because of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). When my yorkie was 12 weeks old that happened to him a couple of times. He would be fine and then all of a sudden he'd start walking sideways, walking into walls, glazed over look in the eyes. I wouldn't recommend putting him to bed because when that happens, you need to get his sugar up. Give him nutri-stat or nutri-cal...if he won't eat it, rub it on his gums. When a pup has hypoglycemia they could seizures (like what happened to bandit or worse) or end up in a coma if you don't act. It's easier to prevent a hypoglycemic attack than to treat it. Trust me, I've been through so much with my yorkie. Feed him small meals many times a day so that his blood sugar stays constant. My yorkie baby almost died on me once when that happened, and it's terrifying. Just out of curiosity, have you taken him to the vet to get a regular check and a fecal exam?
