This is most suspicious of a drug or medication ingestion. It could also be due to some other poison ingestion, or neurologic disease. Considering his current signs it's best to take him to an emergency veterinarian as soon as possible. They can help identify the cause of this and ensure he doesn't have any life-threatening complications. I hope that helps and Harley gets better soon.
