Why is my 10-week kitten lethargic, breathing fast, with crusty eyes?

Question

Hi, We have a 10 week old kitten who is lethargic and has slept all day when he is usually extremely active. He also has quite a fast breathing rate. His gums still seem pink. His nose and eye also have crust. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 14 days old

From your description, it sounds like Ivory isn't feeling well at the moment, and his symptoms could be indicating a possible respiratory infection. Make sure he is eating and drinking, keep him warm, and bring him into the bathroom with you when you take a shower, The steam may help with his breathing and clear up any congestion. Take him into the vet first thing in the morning. Now if he won't eat or drink, he appears to be in respiratory distress (difficulty breathing), and/or becomes very lethargic, I would take him into an ER vet immediately. Best of luck!
