Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. It sounds as though Micky may have a viral or bacterial respiratory infection. In Young kittens, respiratory infections can become quite severe if not treated early enough. I would recommend having a veterinarian examined him so that the most appropriate Diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. The sooner he has seen the better. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction and I hope he feels better soon. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
