He is eating normal and drinking water but he is acting weak still and not wanting to move unless it’s to climb on my back
It's reassuring to hear that your kitten is eating and drinking normally, but his weakness and lack of movement are concerning, especially at such a young age. Typically, one-month-old kittens are quite active and curious.
Firstly, ensure that your kitten is warm enough. Young kittens are prone to getting cold, which can lead to lethargy.
Even though he is drinking water, it’s crucial to ensure he stays properly hydrated. You can check for dehydration by gently pinching the skin at the back of his neck. If the skin doesn’t snap back quickly, he might be dehydrated and may need additional fluids.
Despite wearing a flea collar, internal parasites like worms can still cause weakness. If he hasn’t been dewormed yet, it would be wise to consider doing so.
Sometimes, kittens can become lethargic if they are bored or not getting enough stimulation. Try engaging him with toys or gentle play to see if that helps perk him up.
Given his young age and the signs of weakness, it’s important to monitor him closely. If his condition doesn’t improve or if you notice any other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing, it would be best to have him checked by a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.
If you have any further questions or need additional advice, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
