It sounds like your kitten is experiencing some concerning symptoms, including lethargy, a lack of appetite, bad breath, and feeling warm to the touch. These signs could indicate an underlying issue, such as an infection or a dental problem. Bad breath in cats is often associated with dental issues, but it can also be a symptom of more serious conditions like kidney disease or diabetes, especially when accompanied by lethargy and fever.

At home, you can monitor her temperature using a pet thermometer. A normal temperature for a cat ranges from 100.5°F to 102.5°F. If her temperature is above this range, it may suggest she has a fever. It's important to ensure she stays hydrated, so offer her fresh water frequently. You might also try giving her some wet food or a small amount of plain, cooked chicken to see if she shows any interest in eating.

Given her young age and the combination of symptoms, I strongly recommend seeking veterinary care as soon as possible. A veterinarian can conduct a thorough examination and possibly run tests to determine the cause of her symptoms and provide the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
