Your kitten is very ill and needs emergency treatment right away! I do not know what it is but he needs to see a vet ASAP!

I agree with sarthur2.  Your kitten may not live without a vet visit right away.  Please do the responsible thing and take your kitten to the vet.  Care Credit is an excellent source for funds for unexpected. emergency treatment.

Keep us updated.

How is it going?

I presume he was entirely OK in a few days ago, and got this condition quite suddenly?   What you are doing is the adequate home emergency; actively warming up, giving glucose sugar / Karo syrup, making sure he gets fluids - preferably  pedialyte or equivalent.

Kmr is good, goat milk is another alternative. - its not enough, but helps some.

But its surely an emergency ASAP   It may be a hemorrhage inside, it may be some poisononing, or it may be something else too.  A good vet is his only chance.

It sounds very grave what you describe.

Unless he was outside in the cold, and got gravely chilled down.

Your cat desperately needs to go to the vet.  He likely needs medication.  This is not a situation you can fix on your own and I fear that he is wasting away.

I think he is in severe pains, and frankly, dying.  If you dont afford with the vet, with perhaps costly treatment, I think the least bad is to let him go.  Do it the the quickest and easiest for him way you can find.

How is your kitten today?

Have you taken him to the vet for help yet?

The described behavior sounds to me that this kitten is dying. When the kitten is too far gone to bring back, but is given supplements like sugar, it will prolong death, but won't be enough to turn him around.

Please update asap.
