Okay, so he had a severe lung infection.
Vet told me that this probably happend by regurgitation which after he would breathe in formula, which gave him much breathing difficulty. also by remaining to feed him the normal way (while short of breath) he was breathing in more food.

Feeding him with a tube is the way to go from here.
I'm very happy that he's all okay now, vet said i'm lucky becouse he could have died :(
But he responded extraordinarily well to the antibiotics and the vet was even suprised he made it through.
Seriously i cant explain how happy i am that he pulled through!

Good to hear!

Another thing to prove getting to a vet the second something happens can save their life
