Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like Jinx may have a serious neurologic condition that is causing him to act so strangely. I recommend having him seen by your veterinarian at their next available appointment. I would be worried that he had a seizure or a stroke. Your vet can perform a physical and neurologic exam to see if they can localize the problem. They may recommend bloodwork to check for underlying disease that may have predisposed Jinx to have a neurologic episode. I hope this is helpful!
