I found a very sick kitten a couple of days ago, Im not sure if he is going to live. His nose is running and gets stuffy and it seems hard for him to breath when it gets that way. His eyes are also draining and if they are not cleaned very often they get stuck closed. He sleeps alot and when i had originally found him he was covered in fleas. He was also very dirty from living outside. If anyone has an idea as to help him get better i would be greatful for advice.... thanks a bunch.

He might not live if he doesn't see a vet. It sounds like he has a severe infection and needs antibiotics ASAP. For now you can bathe him with baby shampoo to help with the fleas. Keep him warm and make sure he is eating. He definately needs to go to the vet for antibiotics.

You can also use a flea comb in addition to giving him a bath...that should help get rid of most of the fleas for now. If you can't take him to a vet I suggest calling a few animal shelters or the SPCA if you have one in your area to see if they can do something for you.
