It sounds like your young kitten is dealing with both diarrhea and a double eye infection, which can be quite concerning, especially given her age.

For the diarrhea, it's crucial to ensure she stays hydrated. You can offer her small amounts of water frequently or an electrolyte solution designed for pets. Diarrhea in kittens can sometimes be caused by dietary changes, parasites, or infections. Since this has been ongoing for a day and happening multiple times, close monitoring is essential. If she shows signs of lethargy, dehydration (such as dry gums or sunken eyes), or if the diarrhea persists, it would be best to seek veterinary care promptly.

Regarding the eye infections, home care is somewhat limited, but you can gently clean the area around her eyes with a warm, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Applying a teardrop solution (hyaluronic acid) can help soothe her eyes. If you have access to an antibiotic ointment like Terramycin, you can apply it to her eyes 2-3 times a day. However, given that both eyes are affected and she's so young, it's important to get her checked by a veterinarian to ensure she receives the appropriate treatment and to rule out any underlying issues.

Given the severity of both conditions, especially in such a young kitten, I strongly recommend taking her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Young kittens can deteriorate quickly, and professional care will ensure she gets the best treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
