I'm truly sorry to hear that your kitten is experiencing such distressing symptoms. Weakness and difficulty breathing in a young kitten are indeed very concerning and could indicate a serious health issue. It's important to act quickly in this situation.

There are several potential causes for these symptoms, such as respiratory infections, congenital heart defects, or other serious conditions. At home, you can try to keep your kitten warm and comfortable, ensuring the environment is calm and stress-free. You might also offer some warm, palatable food to encourage eating, but please avoid force-feeding if your kitten is not interested.

Given the severity of the symptoms, I strongly recommend taking your kitten to a veterinarian immediately. These symptoms can rapidly become life-threatening, and a professional evaluation is necessary to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
