They actually fall out when exposed to ANY stressor. Don't know what causes it - low blood pressure maybe? They don't appear to seizure but just fal over stiff and get up in about two minutes to graze peacefully like its no big deal. But the look on that poor dog's face when 12 to 15 of them just fell out........ priceless! LOL [AFTER we found out what was going on] The dog works stock every day on their farm. He was just blown away and sure something was SERIOUSLY wrong..........
