She was quieter for about a day and then back to normal. This happened as I say about 5 times - no warning whatsover - she would just drop.
Our vet did say that usually they show signs of recovery after about 20 - 25 minutes, so if it did happen again we would be prepared, and each time she took about 15 minutes to come round.

So sorry to hear that you went through this with Holly. Thankfully Ben was looking around after just a few second and up and about approximately 10 minutes later (we may have been able to get him up sooner but we thought it best to let him rest for a bit and he would have been very difficult to pick up where he was).
You say that it happened to Holly about 5 times - was this spread over a few weeks or months, were the intervals between the collapses regular or variable? I only ask just to help understand Ben's condition a bit more.
Did the vet put Holly on any medication, change of diet, etc?
Thanks.
