Poor Jack sounds very sick, and he needs immediate veterinary attention. This is not something that can be treated at home. Please take him 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.
