Hi there. I would have Kunsel seen by a vet. Vomiting and loose stool can be caused by a reaction to food, parasites or a virus, but when it's been going on for a few days she does need treatment. Your vet will be able to find out what's causing it and get her on meds to get her feeling better. She's very small and can become dehydrated quickly, so having her seen sooner than later is a good idea. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
