I got an '8week' old kitten 6 days ago, he was fine up til yesterday where suddenly he didnt leave his cat bed all day,only to eat once or twice,this morning he cant even stand just lay on his side sporadically meowing loudly, pupils go huge every time I stroke him,breathing very slow and shallow, asfar as I know hes not eaten anything bad or had a painful accident...imstarting to think he is less than 8weeks old as he is very small,but he was fine for the first few days! Does any ody know whats going on with him? I cant afford the vets so I need something at home that can help him.

If he's that sick he needs a vet and right away. Ring around a few vets in your area. Some of them offer payment plans, especially if your cat is going to die. None of us can diagnose what's wrong but it sounds very serious.

Its an immediate vet errand, asap.  He is also apparently in great pains.  Sorry.

Please try to get him to a vet or surrender him to a shelter. He needs medical attention.
