It's not sounding like he's doing well. He needs food now and every hour. Drop by drop so he does not aspirate formula into his lungs. [emoji]128528[/emoji]

Wrap him in a towel like a burrito to hold him still. Get help if you need to so you can get those drops of formula into the side of his mouth. Again, no big squirts.
Once he realizes it's his milk after a couple of feedings he won't fight it so much. But he's not going to make it without food.

I don't think he got enough food. Someone went to the pet store to buy a feeding syringe the one I got at the pharmacy isn't working. it's very large

I'm just super scared...
I've never fed a kitten with a syringe before... he just wants to curl up and go to sleep

Did you ask for a 1-2 mL syringe like I said? A 1-2 mL syringe is tiny.
And you said he was not eating from the bottle.
How much did he eat? Did he potty?

I don't think that we have time to chase down a syringe and ours is to big (I will get one later) could a dropper work for now
Yes, a dropper will work. Eventually you will see that a syringe is much easier.
And you may have to specify that you need a 1-2 mL syringe at a pharmacy counter.
How much formula do you think he ate?

Update:
Spoke on phone and explained syringe/dropper feeding. Also all 3 kittens' pee is yellow and concentrated, so she will get pedialyte to mix the formula with and give drops of pedialyte in between, but pee getting more clear. Runt is fighting eating, but I explained she must get the food in him drop by drop no matter what. Smaller syringe will be obtained from a vet.
Kittens acquired at 11pm last night California time.
