My 3-week-old kitten isn't walking or eating. What's this black spot?

Question

Hii my kitten is of almost 3 weeks but yet he does not walk properly and eat by himself. Is he ok or does it take more time for them to grow? And there was a blank spot on his nose which came out today when I was cleaning him with washcloth....I don't know what that black spot means.. please help... thanks

The kitten may need more time to develop as three weeks is still very young. The kitten should still be with his mother and nursing. If he is not still with his mother than you will need to bottle feed him with a kitten milk replacer until he is able to eat kitten food on his own. The spot on his nose might just be normal pigment so you could monitor the spot for any changes. If you have any concerns, than have a vet take a look at him to make sure he is growing properly and is healthy.
