Hi, my kitten Nala is about a month old. Recently she started throwing up. She was ok until today when she threw up twice and started to have diarrhea, I noticed a little blood when she was pooping too. What should I do?

I would recommend taking your kitten in to be evaluated by a veterinarian. Your kitten is most likely suffering from intestinal parasites, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Your vet will likely want to run a fecal examination and will deworm your kitten. It may also be time to start your cat vaccines as well. I hope this helps.
