Hi there! I have 3 8ish week old kittens who developed sudden symptoms of liquidy diarrhea, vomiting, severe and dramatic weight loss and lethargy. i have a vet appt scheduled for Monday but one of the kittens is very weak and refusing to eat or drink. How can I help her make it until then? I am worried she won’t live to the vet appt.

I am also afraid Sprinkles may not make it until Monday as she sounds extremely sick. You cannot force her to eat or drink, she needs IV fluids and other supportive care that only a vet can provide. She has to see a vet immediately. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
