She seems lethargy and her gums are white she eats and sleeps that’s it . Didn’t look like she has gained any weight
I'm sorry to hear about your kitten's condition. Lethargy and white gums in a young kitten can be quite concerning and may indicate anemia, which can stem from various causes such as parasites, infections, or nutritional deficiencies. Given her age and symptoms, it's crucial to address this promptly.
First and foremost, it's essential to seek immediate veterinary attention. White gums can be a sign of a serious condition like anemia, which requires prompt care. Anemia can result from blood loss, parasites such as fleas or intestinal worms, or infections. Given her young age and the severity of her symptoms, having her seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible is imperative.
While you are waiting for the vet visit, ensure she stays warm and hydrated. You can use a warm blanket or a heating pad set on low to keep her comfortable. Additionally, offer her small, frequent meals of high-quality kitten food to encourage her to eat.
Since she has only been treated with Dawn dish soap for fleas, she might still have parasites that could be causing anemia. Your veterinarian can recommend appropriate flea and worm treatments that are suitable for her age and weight.
It's also important to ensure she stays hydrated. Offer her water or kitten milk replacer if she isn't drinking enough on her own.
Given that her symptoms have been ongoing for two weeks, seeking veterinary care immediately is essential. Anemia and lethargy in a young kitten can progress quickly and may require specific treatments that only a veterinarian can provide.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
