I am a nurse (RN) and I am not familiar with the condition you describe. It does sound like TLE (temporal lobe epilepsy) the animal or human spaces out for a few seconds/minutes. It can be mild to severe. Go into remission and then suddenly reappear.
It would be best to consult a specialist/neurologist imo. Especially if the episodes are happening more than once a month.
There could be a low cost medication that could keep this animal stable. Best of luck.
