My kitten weighs about 3.75 kg; I gave 1 albendazole-ivermectin tablet (0.36 mg) and after 2 hours it vomited, walked unsteadily, and made distressed sounds. Is it poisoned? If a hospital is inconvenient, what can I do?

Why Is a Young Kitten Cold and Weak?
A cold, weak kitten may be from low temperature, poor nutrition, lack of security, or illness. Newborns can't regulate temperature, so cold environments drop their body heat.

Respond with warmth, nutrition, treatment, and a safe environment.

Kitten drooling can be normal (grooming, food stimulus, stress) or a disease sign (oral disease, heatstroke, respiratory infection, poisoning).

Based on your description, it is difficult to determine exactly what illness your cat has, so a full veterinary examination should be done as soon as possible. A cat's distress crying is usually a sign of severe pain, so do not keep observing at home as that may delay treatment. If constipation is the cause, offer warm water and fiber-rich food, but the problem could be more serious than simple constipation.
