Why is my new kitten not eating and sleeping after flea treatment?

Question

Hi I just got a new kitten yesterday, he was covered in fleas, I've give him a flea treatment suitable for his age and I've bathed him and went through with a flea comb, he has not ate for 24 hours and has slept the whole time. He is a 11 week ragdoll kitten

This isn't good. While a bath is stressful, it shouldn't stress him out so much that he hasn't eaten for 24 hours and slept the whole time. It's actually very serious when a cat won't eat, so I would take him into a vet immediately to get checked out.
