Why is my 2-week-old kitten walking wobbly and losing head control?

Question

2 week old kitten when trying to walk just goes in circles, flips over on back a lot. Does not have control of head. His sister does however and is already beginning to try and walk but straight, is that normal? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | 17 days old

It's definitely not normal. I would recommend that you have the kitten checked out by a vet. There could be something congenital (such as a brain issue) or an infection causing these weird episodes. A complete physical and neurologic exam may shed some light as to the cause, or the vet may recommend bloodwork to get an answer.
