She needs to see the vet. She sounds like maybe she has a URI, with the sneezing and goopy eyes. It can be dangerous for a little one.

Not only does it sound as if she has a kitty cold, but she may very well have a parasite causing the blood in the stool. There's a few other reasons,but in a young kitten, I would get that taken care of right away.

Tiger?

Definately take her to a vet. Probably just deworming for the bloody stools, but could be more. If you can take a stool sample with you it would help the vet very much.
