Falling asleep while standing up

My dog who is nearly 15 has started to fall asleep while standing up. Sometimes he's so deep that he falls over. Is it something I should worry about or is he just getting old?

bless his heart it is probably just him getting old if you see him like that can you not gently put him on his side so that he doesnt hurt himself, what is he by the way (breed)

He's a terrier cross, bit like a large Jack. Couple of people have said it might be some sort of collapse or seizure so I think I'll take him to the vets.

I have a 10 month old sheltie, he is falling asleep and it's worrying me. I was just wondering what the vet said about your dog? If I'm just over worrying or if I need to take him to the vets.....

I hope he will not fall asleep in wrong places like the stairs...
