I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you did everything you could. Anemia can be inferred by how sick she was. If she was weak, starving and dehydrated it's probably a given. The aspiration pneumonia can be heard while listening to the lungs and also inferred by the rapid breathing and respiratory distress. It's most likely why she was given an oxygen treatment. If bad enough it can cause an oxygen deficiency. Unfortunately these are all very common things to see in a young kitten that has been out on the street. 

I hope you feel better soon.

i worry if the treatment kill the cat because the baytril and the capstar shouldnt be given ti kittens under 2 pounds. 

There's not really many things you can give a kitten that small. If you don't treat, than the kitten might die. If you do, than the kitten might die. I'm sure the doctor made the best decision they could in an emergency situation like that. But really the only way to know exactly what happened is to talk to the doctor directly. I think it sound like it was a tough situation in general
