Fifi should be seen by a vet. Little kittens can get dehydrated easily and that needs to be addressed by a vet. Sounds like she may have an upper respiratory infection - there are medications your vet can give her to help her if that is the case. The vet can also instruct you as to how to better care for such a young kitten. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
