Your emergency vet should still be made aware of the condition and be able to talk with you about this over the phone.

He or she probably has worms. You can go to any pet store and get a dewormer or wait till the vet opens up on tuesday. Your cat will be fine.

It most likely has worms...its not an emergency, but you need to get a dewormer for her as soon as the vet opens. Also, bring a stool sample so they can verify what type of worm your cat has. Be sure to wash your hands and the litterbox very well everyday to prevent you from getting sick.

Take it to the emergency vet. If you do nothing and it is something serious you could end up with a dead cat. If you love your kitten get it to the vet.

It may have Endoparasites(roundworm).This is a common parasite that can transmitted to a kitten in the mother's milk.In any case,it is important for your kitten health that you have the vet check the kitten for worms or any other diseases and prescribe medication if necessary-good luck -Meow -

You might try getting over the counter wormer medicine. It could be as simple as a parasite. Definitely take it in to the vet next week.

How old is the kitten? If shes 6mons. or more she could be preagnet. If she is DO NOT mess with the babys or touch the babys or DONT TOUCH HER OR TRY TO HELP HER IF SHES READY TO HAVE THEM even if shes a first time mom SHE WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO. Best of wishes to you and your cat
