I bought a dewormer but was told it is too dangerous; can I use it?
A 2-month-old kitten should not use abamectin; cats are sensitive to it and easily poisoned by wrong dosing, and it is generally for large animals. For deworming, use milder selamectin or ivermectin based on weight, and keep dewormers out of the cat's reach to avoid accidental poisoning.
