Help me help my kitten

I have a kitten who was born on st. patricks day and he is everything to me. For the past 4 days he wont eat drink or even go to the bathroom i think hes going to die if i dont get help for him soon.. I force fed him some kitten formula although he normally eats hard food. He sleeps all day but does still go outside at least twice a day and makes sure he's cuddled up on me purring. Every day that goes by he just keeps losing weight and getting weaker and weaker. whats wrong with him? I had plans to get him his shots this coming week but i dont know if hes going to survive until then...

Is that your kitten? The one in the picture? wow he is gorgeous! Brandy, I will second lonewolf's comment. Please take him to the vet. If he is your everything, I'm sure you won't mind getting him checked ahead of schedule. This kitten can be a beautiful, beautiful animal when he grows up. I can see it. He is gorgeous. Please take good care of him, as that cat can make you proud of how stunning he will turn out to be. I wish you both the best. Sorry, but there is nothing we can possibly do to help except encourage you to rush him to the vet. He could have FIP or even Leukemia.

Good Luck.

He DOES have to go to the vet.  He could be diabetic or have thyroid problems - both of which are treatable.  I would have had mine to the vet before I finished typing this sentence.

It sounds like he's very sick.  You need to get him to the vet ASAP.  I don't understand why you're waiting!
