Sounds like a typical upper respiratory infection, something that kittens are prone to. He needs antibiotics if that's the case, and I would take him to a vet right away. This can be very dangerous for cats, especially a young kitten.

Maybe he is just lethargic and needs some extra energy. Use a droppers if you have one and mix some sugar water. Two teaspoons to one cup of water. Drop the sugar water into his mouth. He should be good. If that does not work then defiantly take him to the vet. He might need real medical attention. Also maybe crush up some vitamin C into his water dish. One tablet for one cup of water.

I had a very young kitten once and she was so sick I found her in a really wet spot that was pink but looked like it was mixed with blood. It looked like it came from her behind. I took her to the vet and she couldve had feline aids or other blood diseases. I didnt get her tested as it was very costly and I couldnt afford it at the time. She couldve had a number of other things as well. It was very sad I didn't want Baby to suffer anymore so my boyfriend talked me into putting her to sleep. I was sad but at least now I know she didn't suffer anymore.

i seen lots of kittens like that. sad isnt it?? yeah it usually is a upper respiratory problem also known as a "cold". the reason he is weak and walks weird is maybe he has a type of worm. worms slow them down then its alot easier for the fleas to kill them. is your kitten anemic?does it have a lot of fleas? well you shouldve taken it to the vet asap. if possible bring a stool sample and the vet should be able to tell you if it has worms.

It sounds like a selenium defficiency. He needs a shot from the vet. It is something a lot of young animals suffer from (it's a vitamin defficiency) But hurry please because Peralisis could set in soon.

Your kitten is very sick. It could be distemper or any number of other things. Take him to the vet.
Good luck!

Could have a version of kennel cough. You should take him to the vet.

Think of it as a baby. Some baby's aren't mature, go to a specialist ASAP!
