She came up to our house about 3 weeks ago and was jumpy and happy. she got fleas and we bathed her and she almost died, we just barely saved her by breathing into her. Now the second time its happening but shes not breathing hardley at all. shes in a comatose state with her eyes wide open. her heart is still beating and we have to breathe into her every once in a while but i dont know what it doing

Is the kitten healthy, vigorous? You need to keep an eye on her.
Here is what you do: Go to the grocery store, and buy Lactaid, lactose-free milk. Kittens can't digest cow's milk; it gives them diarrhea and because of that, it can kill them. Lactaid, okay? To a cup of this you add the second thing you are going to buy: Gerber's Baby Rice Cereal, one tablespoon. Nuke this until it is just lukewarm so the cereal dissolves. Then you are going to get a human vitamin pill, like one-a-day, and cut it in half and completely dissolve it in a tiny amount of warm water. When dissolved, add it to the milk and rice. Then you must separate the yolk of one large or jumbo egg or two medium or small eggs from the white. Put the raw egg yolk (but no egg white, because cats cannot digest this) into the mixture. Then the third thing you are going to buy: two teaspoons of Gerber, stage one baby chicken into the mix. Blend or process it really well, and feed it from an eyedropper or dollbaby bottle every four hours. If this is a very small kitten, under two weeks' old, after you feed, you will have to wipe its anus and goodies with a cotton ball dipped in lukewarm water. This will bring out it's excreta. It will not go to the bathroom if you don't do this, so you must.
Wow try taking her to the vet! ASAP!!!!!! Real sorry you tried your best!
take her the vet!! duh!
Bring her to the vet immediately.
giving kittens flea baths is a no-no...and a vet visit - 911 would be my guess, but I'm thinking it's probably too late for that...sorry..
Warm it all day and feed it with a baby kitten bottle. then take it to the vet asap.
she may have some kind of feline illness, she needs to see a vet immediately so they can fix her or at least put her out of misery!!
Call your nearest vet and explain this story.
They should be able to help you.
All the best to you. If she does not pull through you did all you can to help her.
Thumbs up for caring.
Good luck.
She is dying. It's hard to keep a kitten alive that's too young to be away from it's mother. The kitten is too young to be given any flea medication. If you ever come across this kind of thing again, you can give a kitten a bath - The water alone with drown the fleas, but you can't use anything on her. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you.
Be motherly to the cat and and watch it closely for a while and train it but if you can't do that I think you need to surround it with other cats or you might need to let go of it and put it in a pound or a humain society. Prefferable a humain society. Its a sad choice but its probally the best for the cat. And if you put it in a humai society you can visit until somebody takes it home and you can also set up a call list with the humain society and find out how the cat is doing and see if anyone adopted it.
It never stops to amaze me that people would take the time to jump on the Internet and ask Yahoo people who are not VETs a question when a pet is dying or ill
If you would have taken the pet immediately to the vets the kitten might have still be alive
PEOPLE IF YOUR PET IS ILL TAKE IT TO A VET,PEOPLE AT YAHOO ANSWER CAN NOT HELP YOU, A VET AT petqna.com CAN NOT HELP YOU. A GOOD VET MUST SEE THE ANIMAL
Its best 2 contact the animal rescue people - they should be able to take it of your hands with no charge and they'll have the right equipment to find out whats wrong with it and feed it.
If you have become attached to it just think of how much better the cats life will be in the right hands - do it 4 the cat.
Just take it to the vet and say you found it,They are not going to charge you.Before it does die!
I just heard a story from a lady I know that sounds similar to yours. She took her cat to the vet and they tried everything. They eventually had to put him down. Come to find out that he had eaten a poisonous lizard that we have here in Florida and that is why he died. The vet said there was nothing that could have been done for him.
Sorry to hear this. Flea products for dogs are poisonous to cats and can kill them but a cat flea treatment should be OK on a young kitten. The poor thing was probably ill already; stray kittens do not really get the best crack at life.
Are you able to get the mother to get her spayed and stop any repeats?
The question was wrote by fiancee and she didnt show anything wrong til it was to late
