How is he off balance? Does he stumble around or fall over?

When he throws up is it right after he has one of these balance episodes or does he do it at another time? Does he bob his head up and down and stretch his neck before he vomits and is it aimed at you or a toy, mirror toy? Or is he shaking his head from side to side and vomiting?

He's not regirgitating, he's throwing up right after getting dizzy from flying. After landing, what he will do is this, he staggers, bends his head back and is off balance. During this short time frame, he cannot sit on your finger, he falls off and just tries to hang onto anything. I cradle him and hold him still so he calms down. He then throws up. Is this due to a bacterial infection? neurological problem that will never go away? How does a vet determine the cause? Its too cold to bring him out in the cold to a vet, especially if its a bacterial infection. What should I do/try?
