Expert Answer

A kitten can be bathed only after the cold is fully cured, and only after it is 3 months old and fully vaccinated. In general, do not bathe a kitten before vaccination or during illness.

Kittens are fragile with weak resistance, especially when sick, and bathing then easily makes them iller, so do not take the risk. Keep a kitten with a cold warm; if severe, give pet cold medicine, and only consider a bath a week after symptoms disappear.
