Why is my 8-week-old kitten vomiting, lethargic, and has goopy eyes?

Question

Bee, my 8-9 week old kitten, vomited last night. A very small amount, and just bile. Afterwards, she climbed into bed and went to sleep. Since then she has been very lethargic, only waking up to eat/drink small amounts, use the litter box, and go back to sleep. Her eyes have gotten very goopy and runny as well. I’m worried about her, because she’s very active normally and very playful.

Poor Bee. Since she is so young they are susceptible to infections more easily. I would be concerned about an upper respiratory infection. I would make sure she keeps eating, keeps drinking,and call your veterinarian first thing in the morning. If they aren't open this weekend at all, I would recommend taking Bee to the ER rather than waiting till Monday. In the meantime, a few times a day. I would run your shower really hot, close the door until the room in steamy. Then place Bee in there for 10 minutes. Helps break up secretions. Good luck
