I found a stray kitten and took her in. Shes all bones..very weak. I've been giving her kitten milk every 2-3 hours and following all directions. Keep her warm...etc.
I put a flea collar on her after bathing her because she had a bad flea problem! I had NOOO idea this was bad for her...shes very sick and weak and almost died this morning. She is doing a lot better now since taking the collar off...12 hours ago. Shes going to the vet in the morning. I'm so scared shes going to die. I continue to feed her, love her and keep her warm.
I'm wondering what can i do for her until her vet appt. I'm cant sleep im so scared shes going to die. Please any help is desperately needed. Please!!!!!!!!!

Your doing great! Kitten milk is about all you can probably give her at this time. Feeding, loving, and keeping her warm is the best thing in this world for her. The vet can help you with when and what kind of flea products to use. I'd have given her a bath too. That's a given, every hour with those fleas just make it harder for her to pull through. I've been where you are right now, trying to help a kitten just make it through the night, it is a very stressful feeling. Hang in there and hopefully she'll pull through.
Here's a website to check up on.

Does your portion of the rustic have an emergance vet i might take the klitten to the vet and don't placed the flea collar on the kitten returned the vet will inform you what to do. i'm chuffed which you realised that the collar became into inflicting the kitten to be sicker than purely skinny.

Call the 24-hr emergency vet clinic, and tell them what you've told us. See if they think waiting til the kitty's appt. time will be ok. It's not that long til morning, and if the kitty is still doing better, then she will likely be fine. But call that 24-hr clinic to be sure, and it will probably help you feel better to know. Sounds like you're doing all that you can for the little sweetie at home.

i wouldn't wait until morning to take her in,
almost every city has a 24 hour emergency vet clinic, they come in handy when their needed.
but, if you really have to, make sure she eats,
maybe buy some whiskas cat milk at a local safeway or something like it, and give the kitten a small bowl,
that always helps my cat feel better,
it should help the kitten regain some strength until you can get it in.

I would make use of a 24 hour clinic.
Just continue to keep her warm and fed. Lay with her, stroke her ears, talk to her. If she knows you're right there, she'll have the strength to make it through the night. But please, if you can, find a clinic that's open, or a vet that makes overnight house calls. If you don't have a listings book, search online for your area.
All my hope for the kitten and you.

a bath wouldnt have done her much good either ,you are not meant to bath cats let alone sick kittens.also fleas kill kittens as they make them aneamic from blood loss,so dont blame the flea collar to much
