I have a 3 week old kitten who was abandoned, and I have been caring for her since she was 1 week, but now she's sick. She's constantly sneezing, and has discharge from her eyes. I make sure that she is very warm. She eats very well (sometimes too much) and I want to know if there's anything i can give her before having to take her to the vet.

I have said this before to others in case it sounds familiar.

You are very caring and concerned parent - however please know Kittens have very weak immune systems, and even the slightest case of fleas or illness can kill them very quickly, so it is best to have them see a vet and get any medical attention that they need as soon as possible.

Best to you and your little furbaby.

Yes, please go to the vet as soon as you can. It can only take hours for them to go way downhill. Until you see the vet, make sure and wipe her eyes with a warm cloth so they dont shut and make sure she is getting fluid.
