My young kitten is favoring her paw and shivering. What's wrong?

Question

I safe a 2 1/2 month old flea ridden kitten. After getting the fleas under control she thrived. Last couple days she has been favoring her front left paw. It is lightly weight baring, but sensitive. She has begun shivering in her back end. She eats well and drinks plenty of fluids. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 15 days old | 1lb

Nibbles is so cute! There could be a few causes for the symptoms you describe - migration of internal parasites, viral infections, injury. I strongly recommend having her examined by your vet to try to determine why her leg is painful, and why she is shivering. I hope this helps.
