Kitten sick: fever, bloody vomit, strange walk after human medicine?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Hello, my cat Kelev (she's 1-3 months old we r not sure) had a fever for 3 days, we gave her human med in a very small amount but today I woke up and saw her walking really strange. She always tries to sleep, which is very unnormal for her and she puked blood earlier. My mother said she don't have enough money for a vet and idk what to do... sorry for my English btw I'm not a native speaker

Some human medications for fever are highly toxic to cats. I am concerned that there is something very serious going on to cause bloody vomit. I don't have any treatment ideas since we don't know what is causing the issue in Kelev. She really needs to see a vet.
