This sounds very serious unfortunately. The first thing that comes to mind is if she got in to a toxin or medication. I would take her to the ER right away and if she did get in to something, take that with you. She will need immediate care

Hello. These are pretty alarming symptoms & warrant a veterinary visit as soon as possible. If you are sure that there are no events occurring around her to send her into such a panic, then we need to make sure there are no medical issues going on. If she does not calm down in the next hour or so, please try to have her seen by your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor Jazzy! Her symptoms could be caused by an injury or being ill. I'm concerned by what you are describing, and I think it's something that needs to be seen by a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
