Hello, sorry to hear about Jasmine. Kittens this young may suffer from intestinal parasites, upper respiratory infections and other viral infections such as FIV and FeLV. Other conditions which may make them lethargic include dietary indiscretions or ingestion of foreign matrial. If jasmine is eating and drinking ok, without any vomiting or diarrhea she may be able to wait a little longer until you can bring her to a veterinarian. If she is otherwise not eating well, has vomiting or diarrhea, then you should consider having her evaluated soon. Monitor for any sneezing, coughing, nasal discharge, eye discharge, constipation, vomiting or diarrhea. Best of luck and hope this helps!
