This sounds like a severe gastroenteritis, possibly from an infection or parasites. Please ssek urgent veterinary attention for her as young kittens can rapidly become dangerously dehydrated and weak majing treatment very difficult

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Blacky! He is adorable! Blacky looks to be a kitten. Causes of diarrhea in kittens are: intestinal parasites, viral, bacterial or protozoal infections, she ate something gross that is upsetting her stomach, food allergy/intolerance, reaction to a food change, new treat or people food. When it comes to cat diarrhea, if it doesn't bet better in 1-2 days I recommend a vet exam. I would bring a stool sample to have it tested for worms. The vet can prescribe safe medications and a special intestinal diet to help her get better faster. I wish you and Blacky the best!

It sounds as Wonder Woman is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get if she vomits again, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

These are very concerning signs and I would be concerned there may a severe gastrointestinal tract infection and possibly also a birth defect affecting normal bowel function given he has been underweight since birth. The weakness is likely due to dehydration and this must be assessed and treated by a vet urgently in order to stabilise his condition
