My 13-week-old kitten is sick: not eating, sleepy, and limping. Help!

Question

Hello, I hope someone can help me my kitten is 13 weeks old she has her vaccinations last Saturday and is on ear drops for mites. The last 24 hours she has not eaten, has any water or give to the toilet, she is just non stop sleeping. I am very worried, her front paw is also affecting her she is walking on it's but holds it up occasionally. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 6 days old | 1.6 lbs

Since Coco got her vaccinations a week ago they are probably not the cause of her symptoms. I would be concerned about an injury or wound in the front paw that she is favoring. Oftentimes when a cat is ill or injured, or just not feeling well in general, they will stop eating and become lethargic. If this behavior continues for more than 24 hours then I would recommend taking her in to your vet to be checked out.
