Hello. I would speak with your veterinarian as soon as possible. In such a young kitten, things can change very quickly especially if Sheeran has been incubating an illness early on & is showing symptoms now. He is still so young that he may need antibiotics are additional testing to see what the problem might be. I hope you can have him seen soon, but do make sure he continues to eat & drink every day. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
