My 5-month old half Bengal kitten is sick! He is very thin, and his back legs seem weak and poorly controlled. His third eyelid is also showing quite a bit, and there is some discharge. He won't eat or drink and he runs away when I approach him, which is unusual, as he used to be very friendly. I thought maybe it was worms and I was going to give him some worm medicine, but the label said not to give it to him when he was sick. Tomorrow's Labor Day and it's going to be hard to find a vet. What should I do?

Try to find a vet tomorrow. Sounds like he possibly has an infection and needs to see a vet. In the meantime make sure he is staying hydrated, and try to get some food down him. Let him rest in a quiet dark spot so he can get some sleep.
