It sounds as if Tarzan has had a seizure. Seizures in a young puppy are usually due to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or an underlying problem like a liver shunt.

I would recommend taking Tarzan in to your vet as soon as possible. They will likely want to run some lab work to figure out what is going on.

I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!
