Because Lillu is only 6 weeks old she doesn't have many reserves to fall back on and her immune system will be weak. Even a mild case of gastroenteritis could be very hard in her. If it is possible I would take her to the vet right away as prompt treatment is necessary to stop her getting dehydrated, and she may need to stay in for fluids. If you can't get her to the vet tonight keep her warm and let her drink but no food, and take her first thing in the morning.
