While your waiting for the vet to phone you back, do a couple of checks, - is his meow much louder and different to the others?, has he definatly got a bottom?

Its normal for a kitten to lose a little bit in the first 24hours, but no more than 10% and they should never be cold.
not sure what you mean by does he have a bottom? ive had a look and all looks ok in that region.
