Drinking too much water wouldn't give him convulsions. My first thought is that he may be in hypoglycemic shock from low blood sugar since at seven weeks he is way too young to be away from his mother.

If this is the case, you must get sugar into him quickly to try to raise his blood sugar before he goes into a coma. Do you have any pancake syrup, jelly, or honey on hand? Rub it on his gums and see if he comes around. If he's hypo, his gums will be very pale.

He should respond pretty quickly, but the sugar is only a quick fix and he'll need real food asap or he'll just crash again.
