Hello, I have a 5 month old kitten. She didn't have her shots yet, but she's been in the house since she was born. She only goes outside for few hours and is always supervised. Two days ago she puked in the car. She's very used to driving in the car. Today, two days later she puked twice. Her poop is also soft and watery and very light brown and slight pinkish colour. Just like how her canned food looks like. She's acting just like any other day and went back to eating. What shall I do?

There is no medicine that is safe to give cats over the counter. If she is eating and feeling normally, then you can wait another day and see if the vomiting and diarrhea continues. If the vomiting continues or diarrhea becomes bloody then she will need to be seen by a vet. she may have picked up a viral or bacterial infection that was in the environment outside that is causing these symptoms
