Both its eyes are swollen shut with infection (it looks a lot like this ). She took it home and now wants to know what she should do to help it until she can take it to the vet tomorrow morning. It's still pretty active, although right now it's basically just sleeping in its little box, and isn't eating (all we have to feed it was milk) or drinking. Best thing is to keep it warm and quiet. If she feels it is dehydrated and wont last the night, here's a guide on rehydrating a sick kitten: https://suite.io/mia-carter/5p8923d If any pet stores are open, go buy some Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) or Cat Milk.
