Mesyhannah,
Take your kitten to a veterinarian immediately! There are emergency 24 hour clinics if your
day practitioner is closed. It sounds
like your kitten is in shock and hypothermic (low body temperature). Kittens are very sensitive to hypoglycemia
(low blood sugar) and dehydration—he may be experiencing these things too. Without appropriate treatment by a
veterinarian this could be fatal.
On your way to the clinic wrap him in a thick, warm
blanket. Feed him 1-2 teaspoons of sugar
water or karo syrup.
