Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh no, poor Peanut! I am worried about breathing issues since you mentioned a whistling sound. He could have an upper respiratory tract infection or pneumonia. Since he is so young he should be seen immediately by a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Peanut a speedy recovery!
