take him to the vet asap!
Even if the kitten has no external injures cat bites can cause very serious internal injures.

GET YOUR CAT TO THE VET NOW!DON'T WAIT. I lost a male short legged cat after he was in a cat fight. He didn't show no signs of injury for a few days and when I took him to the vet the infection had already spread it was to late he died durig treatment.

He did sleep a lot and became weak before this thought maybe he had a hair ball or something. If I would have known what I know now Whitey would still be here I am sure of it.

Hope all turns out OK and let us know.

The breathing fast is a sure sign there is something wrong.
About 6 years ago my LOVING sweet cat "jazzman" was hit by a car. He seemed to be allright but his sides were going in and out very fast and I could hear his breathing. But it was the warning sign and I did end up taking him into the vet. I am praying your kitten will be allright. He does need a vet!
Oh, and my jazzman had extensive internal injuries. My vet tried to fix him but when he was sewing up my jazzys tummy my little boys heart gave out. Sometimes I wonder why...

Sorry for your loss Mandee but you did do the best you could for you kitten.
Very sad but at least he is not in pain.
